Alex Vesia was noticeably absent from the Dodgers' official celebration in honor of their World Series win against the Toronto Blue Jays. On Monday, Nov. 3, the Los Angeles team held a victory parade after becoming World Series champions; however, PEOPLE can confirm the 29-year-old pitcher was not present at the celebration.

The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their second consecutive World Series title on Monday, doing so without relief pitcher Alex Vesia, who is still dealing with what is reportedly a "deeply personal family matter.

Dodgers' Will Klein reveals how the team kept Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla Vesia, in the hearts amid their World Series victory.

Amid their World Series run, the Los Angeles Dodgers front office is sharing more about the decision to leave pitcher Alex Vesia off the roster as he steps away from the team due to a personal matter.

The Toronto Blue Jays relief pitchers wore Alex Vesia’s number, 51, on their hats during the World Series. Fans praised the team for showing support for Vesia and his wife.

In response to the troubling news, the Dodgers bullpen has honored Vesia by writing No. 51 on their hats. During Game 6 of the World Series on Friday night, the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen was seen doing the same thing in what has been an incredible act that is bigger than baseball.

In 2025, Vesia signed a one-year deal with LA worth $2.25 million with a club option for 2026, per Sports Illustrated. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, the club option gives the team the ability to exercise or decline a pre-negotiated one-year deal (in this case around $3 million) for the year after the initial deal is signed.
