In this story:
The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated becoming back-to-back World Series champions during a fan-filled, rowdy parade on Nov. 3.
However, one star player remained noticeably absent from the epic celebration, relief pitcher Alex Vesia. Vesia was a last-minute scratch from the Dodgers' World Series roster while "he and his wife Kayla navigate a deeply personal family matter," the team shared in a statement before Game 1.
Prayers poured in for Vesia and Kayla, who was pregnant with the couple's first child.

"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," the Vesias continued.
"Thank you to the Dodgers for their understanding and support during this time. 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. It’s brought us so much comfort."
Supportive messages and prayers filled the comments section. Mariana Henandez, who's expecting her second child with Dodgers fan favorite Kike Hernandez, posted a heartfelt message.
She wrote, "We are here to hold you guys through it all. ❤️🩹 We love you all!" Hernandez added, "We love you guys!"
The Dodgers official account commented, "Thinking of you all and sending so much love. 💙."
