“It’s with a heavy heart that we share that Alex Vesia is away from the team as he and his wife Kayla navigate a deeply personal family matter,” the Dodgers said in a statement posted to X on Thursday, Oct. 23. “The entire Dodgers organization is sending our thoughts to the Vesia family, and we will provide an update at a later date.”

Alex Vesia has stepped away from the Los Angeles Dodgers amid a "deeply personal family matter." Five days before the club made this announcement, Vesia's pregnant wife shared a video on TikTok, celebrating her husband and the team's ticket to the World Series.

No, Alex does not have any children, but he and Kayla announced they were expecting their first baby together in 2025. Up until mid-October 2025, Kayla had been sharing Instagram photos of her growing baby bump and her supporting Alex as he and the Dodgers moved onto the World Series.
