Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla Vessiawere supported by his MLB teammates in the weeks after their newborn daughter’s death.
“Having all the guys show up in matching pjs,” Kayla, 29, wrote over a Saturday, January 4, TikTok video, where Alex, also 29, was floored on Christmas morning as his peers each wore matching pairs of navy flannel pajama sets.
In the newly shared footage, Alex could be heard shouting, “I freaking knew it” once he realized all of the Dodgers athletes were dressed alike. He added, “We’re all dressed in the same s***!”
Kayla captioned her post, “A good laugh 😂.”
Alex and Kayla announced in November 2025 that their baby daughter, Sterling Sol, “went to heaven.”
“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,” . “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.”
While Alex and Kayla mourned their unexpected loss, he sat out the entirety of the Dodgers’ World Series championship tournament last fall. The L.A. team, who even wore Alex’s jersey number on their baseball caps in solidarity, ultimately beat the Toronto Blue Jays to take home the trophy.)
Kayla later returned to social media on Friday, January 3, sharing an update on how she and her husband were coping.

[I don’t know] what this content is going to look like going forward, but I do want to share my journey,” Kayla said. “I don’t know how much I’m gonna share, I don’t know the details, but I do know I want to share if it can help somebody who’s going through the same thing feel like they’re not alone.”
She continued, “I don’t want to come on the internet and cry. I don’t think that’s fun for anyone. I think it will be a good outlet to be able to talk and share, different from me and Alex talking [or us] talking with our therapist. It’s just a different outlet. Right now, I don’t have a whole lot to say, just that I am really grateful for you guys and showing so much support and love to us during this time.”
