Dodgers Pitcher Alex Vesia and Wife Kayla Announce Tragic Passing of Infant Daughter Sterling Sol

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife Kayla shared the heartbreaking news of their baby daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, who passed away on October 26th. The couple made the announcement in a joint Instagram post, expressing immense pain but cherishing every second they had with their "little angel." Vesia was not on the Dodgers’ World Series roster, having been granted a leave of absence for a personal matter, which the team had acknowledged on October 23rd. In a show of support, players from both the Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays wore Vesia’s No. 51 during Game 3 of the World Series. The couple extended gratitude to the Dodgers, Blue Jays organization, baseball fans, and Cedars Sinai medical staff for their support. Vesia, who joined the Dodgers in 2021, posted a 4-2 record with a 3.02 ERA in 68 appearances this past season, and the team recently exercised his 2026 contract option for $3.55 million.
