Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife Kayla shared the heartbreaking news of their baby daughter's passing on Friday.
Our little angel we love you forever & you're with us always. Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. 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 also thanked the Dodgers organization for their understanding and support, acknowledging the comfort brought by their baseball family and fans.
Lastly, we'd like to thank Cedars Sinai and all the medical staff who helped Kayla and Sterling. Every person we came across was truly so incredible.
Vesia posted a black-and-white photo showing their daughter Sterling's hand resting on top of both parents' hands.
The cause of death has not been disclosed. Vesia had been away from the team since October 23 after the Dodgers announced the couple was dealing with a "deeply personal matter" during Kayla's third trimester.
