Shortly before the Los Angeles Dodgers were scheduled to take the field at Rogers Centre for a World Series workout on Thursday night, the team announced Alex Vesia was not on hand due to being with his wife, Kayla, because of a “deeply personal matter.”
Additional details were not provided but manager Dave Roberts suggested it was unlikely Vesia would be included on the Dodgers’ World Series roster when it was officially set Friday morning.
That came to be, as Vesia and Ben Casparius were removed from the Dodgers playoff roster and replaced by Edgardo Henriquez and Will Klein.
