Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia is expected to miss the entirety of the World Series after withdrawing from the squad due to personal reasons, manager Dave Roberts said on Friday.

Vesia, a key part of the Dodgers bullpen, was ruled out of Friday's game one on Thursday after the team announced he was dealing with a "deeply personal family matter" with his wife, Kayla.
