The Dodgers have announced that pitcher Alex Vesia is stepping away from the team as he and his wife deal with a ‘deeply personal family matter.’
The team did not disclose further details in their statement on Thursday, which was posted on the eve of the opening game of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
‘It is with a heavy heart that we share that Alex Vesia is away from the team as he and his wife Kayla navigate a deeply personal family matter,’ the Dodgers said.
‘The entire Dodgers organization is sending our thoughts to the Vesia family, and we will provide an update at a later date.’
Neither Vesia nor his wife has posted anything on social media since the Dodgers confirmed he was stepping away from the team.
