Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla, announced on Instagram on Friday that their daughter, Sterling, died on Oct. 26 — a tragic loss that caused Vesia to miss the Dodgers’ appearance in the World Series last week.
“Our little angel, we love you forever & you’re with us always,” the Vesias 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.”
The Vesias had been expecting the birth of Sterling, their first child, during the Dodgers’ postseason run.
