Key Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher Left Off World Series Roster Amid 'Deeply Personal Family Matter'
Alex Vesia, a key left-handed reliever with a 3.02 ERA, is away due to a family matter, leaving his World Series participation uncertain, Dodgers say.
- On the eve of the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Thursday, October 23, that reliever Alex Vesia is away for a deeply personal family matter, leaving his availability uncertain.
- The Dodgers said in a statement that Alex Vesia is away from the team as he and his wife Kayla navigate a deeply personal family matter, and the organization is sending its thoughts to the family.
- This year, the 29-year-old left-hander recorded 68 appearances with a 3.02 ERA, 80 strikeouts and 19 unintentional walks in 59 T innings and has 26 career postseason appearances, including seven this run.
- Considering roster rules, the club may place Vesia on MLB Family Medical Emergency List, which requires three to seven days off and could allow a return by Game 3.
- Vesia's absence could open a spot for veteran lefty Tanner Scott, who has resumed throwing bullpens, or Anthony Banda as the Dodgers weigh matchups against Blue Jays right-handed hitters.
