TORONTO — The Dodgers released their roster for the World Series on Friday, and a key piece in the bullpen was missing as expected.
Left-handed reliever Alex Vesia was not on the roster, as he and his wife handle what the club said on Thursday was “a deeply personal family matter.”
Vesia was also not placed on the Family Medical Emergency List — which would have allowed him to rejoin the roster after a minimum of three days.
Instead, Vesia will now only be eligible to rejoin the Dodgers roster in the event of an injury.
