LA Dodgers star confirms baby daughter has died in heartbreaking post

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Alex Vesia has revealed the tragic reason for his recent absence during the team’s recent World Series run.

Questions were raised by fans when Vesia had been missing from action since the start of the World Series. The Dodgers initially cited a “deeply personal family matter”, with Vesia and his wife, Kayla, since having shared the devastating news that their newborn daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, passed away on October 26.

In an Instagram post published on Friday, the couple shed light on the unfathomable pain they’ve been forced to live with over the past two weeks.

“Our little angel we love you forever & you’re with us always,” their joint post reads. “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.”
