Dodgers’ Alex Vesia and Wife Face Devastating Loss of Their Daughter
When the Los Angeles Dodgers announced that reliever Alex Vesia was stepping away from the team for a personal family matter, fans grew concerned. Days later, the reason for his absence became heartbreakingly clear.
On Friday, November 7, 2025, Alex and his wife, Kayla, shared devastating news on Instagram: their newborn daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, had passed away.
“Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday, October 26th,” the couple wrote. “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.”
Even amid unimaginable grief, the Vesias expressed gratitude for the love and support surrounding them. They thanked the Dodgers organization, fans, and fellow players across Major League Baseball for their compassion.
“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.”
They also extended appreciation to the medical staff who cared for both Kayla and Sterling.
“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 incredible.”
The message ended simply and poignantly: “With Love, The Vesias.”
