Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia has shared the heartbreaking news of his baby daughter’s death, expressing that there are “no words to describe the pain.”

The MLB player, who was absent from the recent World Series games against the Toronto Blue Jays, revealed that he and his wife, Kayla Vesia, would “cherish every second” they shared with their child.

“Our little angel, we love you forever & you’re with us always,” Alex wrote on Instagram alongside a touching picture of their infant’s hand clasped with theirs. “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.”

Their daughter passed away on Sunday, October 26, just two days after the World Series began. Earlier, on October 23, the Dodgers announced that Vesia would be away from the team “with a heavy heart” to “navigate a deeply personal family matter.”

At the time, the Dodgers organization shared, “The entire Dodgers organization is sending our thoughts to the Vesia family, and we will provide an update at a later date.”

In his heartfelt post, Vesia expressed gratitude for the support he and his family have received. He thanked the Dodgers, fans of both the Dodgers and Blue Jays, and the wider baseball community.

“Our baseball family showed up for us and we wouldn’t be able to do this without them,” he said. “Thank you Dodger Nation, Blue Jays organization and all baseball fans for your love and support. We have seen ALL your messages, comments and posts. It’s brought us so much comfort.”

He also extended thanks to the medical staff, saying, “Lastly, we’d like to thank Cedars Sinai and all the medical staff who helped Kayla and Sterling. Every person we came across was truly so incredible.”
