EDGE Analysis

Vesia is recovering from a rib cage injury, but he said he was feeling good Thursday morning. The reliever noted that his fastball may have been a mph down, but added that he will be ready to go Friday night. The left-hander seems to have made strides in recovery to make the World Series roster, but the decision still remains to be made.
