Key pitcher Alex Vesia will miss the series due to a “deeply personal family matter” he is navigating with his wife Kayla, who is expecting a baby girl.
The Dodgers organization announced Vesia's absence on social media, extending their thoughts to the family.
Manager Dave Roberts stated the team is navigating roster adjustments and will proceed on a “day-to-day” basis.
Vesia has been a crucial player for the Dodgers since 2021, having played a significant role in their previous World Series victory.
