Dodgers Pitcher Alex Vesia and Wife Share Tragic News of Baby Daughter’s Death

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla, shared a deeply emotional message Friday announcing the death of their baby daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia. The couple’s statement appeared on Instagram, where they expressed gratitude for the support received during this painful time.

"Our little angel, we love you forever and you’re with us always," they 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 treasure every moment we had with her."

Vesia, 29, was not included on the Dodgers' World Series roster due to a leave of absence for personal reasons. The post did not mention the cause of Sterling’s death.

"Thank you to the Dodgers for their understanding and support during this time. Our baseball family showed up for us, and we couldn’t have managed without them. Thank you Dodger Nation, Blue Jays organization, and all baseball fans for your love and support. We’ve seen every message and post—it’s brought us great comfort."

"Lastly, we’d like to thank Cedars-Sinai and all the medical staff who cared for Kayla and Sterling. Every person we met was truly remarkable."

The couple had announced in April that they were expecting a child.
