Alex Vesia was away from the Dodgers during the 2025 World Series due to a deeply personal family matter involving his wife Kayla. The Dodgers publicly stated he was off the World Series roster for that reason and indicated they would provide an update later. The team explored options to backfill his bullpen role, and there was widespread support from teammates and opposing teams alike as people wore his number 51 on caps in tribute. If you’d like, I can summarize the timeline of events and provide reliable sources for the latest updates.
