The Dodgers announced that Alex Vesia is away from the team for personal reasons.
According to a team statement, Vesia is away from the team as he and his wife navigate a deeply personal family matter. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters he’s unsure whether he’ll be available for the World Series. The 29-year-old left-hander has allowed two runs over 4 2/3 innings over seven appearances this postseason. His absence leaves a significant hole in Los Angeles’ high-leverage mix. It’s possible Tanner Scott (lower body) will be ready to take his spot on the World Series roster as a left-handed option.
