La Dodger’ Alex Vesia shared the death of his infant daughter after sitting out the world series

Los Angeles Dodger Alex Vesia, who sat out the World Series in the Team’s World Run against the Toronto Blue Jays, reported that his daughter had died.

Vesia and his wife shared the news on Instagram on Friday that their new daughter died on 26 October – in the middle of the team’s championship.

“There are no words to describe the pain we are going through but we hold him in our hearts and love every second we have with him,” the couple wrote in a joint post.

The day before the world series – which runs from 24 October to 1 November – begins, the Dodgers announced that Vesia will lose a “very personal family”.

The Vesias’ are expecting the birth of their first child in the Team’s Postseason Run, the major league baseball shared in a post on its website.

The team has previously shared public updates on Vesia’s absence, saying they want to give him the space he needs.

“We just don’t want to have any potential for any kind of pressure. It’s too big in baseball,” Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman said before the series. “For us, doing whatever little part we can is 100% supportive.”

By the third game of the series, the pitchers who filled the vesias honored him by writing his Jersey Number, 51, on their caps. In a show of unity, the blue Jays pitchers started doing the same in the sixth game.

“For these guys to know Alex and what he’s been through and what he’s been through, it’s – sad is not even a good descriptor,” manager Daver Roberts said, referring to Vesia and his wife as he was. “But for them to recognize that, it just speaks to how much they respect and love each other.”

In their Instagram post, Vesias thanked the Dodgers for understanding and supporting them during their time of grief. They also expressed their gratitude to the blue jays and all baseball fans, as well as the medical staff at Los Angeles Hospital Sinai.

The couple did not share information about the cause of their daughter’s death.

“Our little angel loves us forever and you will always be with us,” Vesias wrote.
