Dodgers Pitcher Alex Vesia and Wife Share Tragic News of Baby’s Passing
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife Kayla shared sorrowful news on Friday, revealing that their baby daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, has passed away.
The 29-year-old relief pitcher, who had been on a personal leave of absence during the World Series, posted a joint statement on Instagram expressing their grief and gratitude for the support they have received.
"Our little angel, we love you forever and 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."
"Thank you to the Dodgers for their understanding and support during this time. Our baseball family showed up for us, and we wouldn’t be able to do this without them. Thank you Dodger Nation, Blue Jays organization, and all baseball fans for your love and support. We have seen all your messages, comments, and posts—it’s brought us so much comfort."
"Lastly, we’d like to thank Cedars-Sinai and all the medical staff who helped Kayla and Sterling. Every person we came across was truly so incredible."
The couple did not share the cause of death. Earlier this year, in April, they had announced that they were expecting a baby.
