Blue Jays and Dodgers Pay Tribute to Alex Vesia During World Series
The Toronto Blue Jays have joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in honoring Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia during the World Series. Vesia is absent from the team due to a “deeply personal family matter,” according to a Dodgers statement released before Game 1.
“Vesia is away from the team because of a ‘deeply personal family matter,’” the Dodgers said in a statement posted on social media.
Dodgers pitchers have been wearing Vesia’s jersey number in support, and Blue Jays relievers have followed suit as a gesture of unity. Pitchers Chris Bassitt, Seranthony Domínguez, Mason Fluharty, and Louis Varland of Toronto have all worn his number during the World Series.
