As the Los Angeles Dodgers attempt to become the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back World Series titles, their teammate Alex Vesia and his family continue to be on their minds. The Dodgers announced on Thursday, October 23, that Vesia, 29, would be stepping away from the team as he and his pregnant wife, Kayla, "navigate a deeply personal family matter." "With him not being here, I think it was just a matter of showing that we're united with him and Kayla at this time," Dodgers pitcher Jack Dreyer told The Athletic in a story published Tuesday, October 28.
