Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife Kayla shared the heartbreaking news of their baby daughter's death on Friday.
Our little angel we love you forever & you're with us always. Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. 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.
Vesia expressed gratitude for the support they received during this difficult time:
- Thank you to the Dodgers for their understanding and support. Our baseball family showed up for us and we wouldn't be able to do this without them.
- 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—they've brought us so much comfort.
- Lastly, we'd like to thank Cedars Sinai and all the medical staff who helped Kayla and Sterling. Every person we encountered was truly incredible.
Along with the announcement, Vesia shared a black and white photo showing their daughter Sterling's hand resting on top of the couple's hands. The cause of death has not been disclosed. Vesia had stepped away from the Dodgers since October 23 after the team announced he and his wife, who was in her third trimester, were dealing with a "deeply personal matter."
