The baseball community has been struck by a wave of somber news. Brett Gardner, a former New York Yankees player, is mourning the loss of his son, Miller. While the details surrounding Miller’s death remain scarce, a preliminary cause has been established, casting a shadow over Gardner’s family.
In a separate, yet equally poignant development, the Los Angeles Dodgers are preparing to enter the 2025 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays without the presence of their pitcher, Alex Vesia. Vesia is currently attending to a private family matter involving his pregnant wife, Kayla Vesia.
The Dodgers shared this news with their fans and followers via Instagram on October 23, expressing their heartfelt support for the Vesia family during this challenging time. “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 organization stated. “The entire Dodgers organization is sending our thoughts to the Vesia family, and we will provide an update at a later date.”
As the situation unfolds, the Dodgers have not disclosed further information regarding Alex’s absence. Similarly, neither Alex nor Kayla, who joyfully announced their pregnancy in April, have made any public statements.
In these times of uncertainty and personal trials, both the Gardner and Vesia families are surely in the thoughts of many who support and care for them, both within the baseball world and beyond.
Amid the hiatus of one of their star pitchers, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts detailed how the team is attempting to pivot, given the fact that the team must submit a World Series roster by 10 a.m. ET on the day of the first game, per ESPN.
