Dodgers relief pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife Kayla shared heartbreaking news on Friday about the death of their baby daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, who passed away in late October.
"Our little angel we love you forever & you’re with us always. 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."
The 29-year-old pitcher was absent from the Dodgers World Series roster due to a personal leave of absence. The couple expressed deep gratitude for the support they received.
"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 post did not specify the cause of death. The couple had announced their pregnancy in April.
