Overview
- The Los Angeles Dodgers are scheduled to meet President Donald Trump at the White House on July 23 to mark their 2025 World Series title.
- Star Mookie Betts said he is unlikely to attend because he wants to spend the off day with his newborn and family rather than for political reasons.
- Utility player Kiké Hernández will not go because he is on a minor-league rehab assignment for an oblique strain.
- Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas confirmed he will attend and will join a Dodgers group visiting Capitol Hill the same day.
- The team frames the trip as voluntary and driven by scheduling on an off day between road series, but media and fans are closely watching opt-outs and possible protests given the politicized history of such visits.
