Dodgers' Vesia Leaves for Family Matter

A Dodgers star just left the team right before the World Series. Relief pitcher Alex

Vesia is stepping away to handle what the team calls a "deeply personal family matter."

This is happening literally the night before Game 1 against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

While the exact reason isn't confirmed, his wife Kayla is pregnant with their first child and

is due any day. Vesia has been a lights-out, scoreless pitcher this postseason,

making his absence a massive blow.
