Dodgers Leave Alex Vesia Off World Series Roster
The Dodgers have left lefty relief pitcher Alex Vesia off their World Series roster due to a "deeply personal family matter".
It's certainly on our hearts and we miss him, and we'll be thinking about him
Manager Dave Roberts stated that Vesia is "most likely" to miss the entire series. The Dodgers adjusted their bullpen, adding right-handers Edgardo Henriquez and Will Kl.
Vesia's absence is due to a personal family matter, which he and his wife Kayla are dealing with. The team could have put him on family bereavement leave, but this would have limited his absence to 3-7 days.
Now, Vesia can only be added to the roster as a replacement for an injured player. Author's summary: Dodgers leave Vesia off roster due to personal family matter.
