Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia announces baby daughter's death

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia announced the death of his baby daughter on Friday.

In an Instagram post, Vesia wrote that his daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, died on Oct. 26.

"Our beautiful daughter went to heaven on Sunday, October 26th," Vesia wrote. "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."

Vesia took a leave of absence from the team shortly before the World Series on Oct. 23.

That's why he wasn't at the WS.

Thoughts and prayers for Alex and his family.
