Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife Kayla released a poignant message on Friday about the loss of their baby daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, who passed away on October 26.
The 29-year-old relief pitcher was absent from the Dodgers' World Series roster due to a personal leave of absence related to this tragedy.
"Our little angel we love you forever & you’re with us always," the couple wrote. "Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. There are no words to describe the pain we’re going through but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every second we had with her."
They expressed gratitude to their team and community for support during this difficult time.
Their statement did not reveal the cause of their daughter's death. Earlier in April, the couple had announced they were expecting a baby.
The Vesia family bravely shared their deep loss and expressed heartfelt thanks for the overwhelming support from their baseball community and medical caregivers.
