Shortly before last year’s World Series, the relief pitcher stepped away from the team<\/a> and did not return to pitch in any games in the seven-game series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dodgers issued a statement at the time saying Vesia was handling a “deeply personal matter” that would require him to spend an undisclosed amount of time away from the team.<\/p>\n

Kayla’s TikTok video also noted that she was unsure what her “content is gonna look like going forward,” adding, “But I do want to share my journey.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know how much I\u2019m going to share. I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know the details of it, but I do know that I want to share, and if it can help somebody who\u2019s going through the same thing, feel like they\u2019re not alone,” she said.<\/p>\n
