"We appreciate these tributes in recognition of our back-to-back championships."Not all players are expected to attend, with shortstop Mookie Betts opting to spend the off-day with his family after the recent birth of his child, and utility player Kiké Hernández missing due to a rehabilitation assignment, though he indicated he likely would not have attended regardless due to his outspoken views on immigration.Following the protests, the Dodgers pledged $1.1 million to groups assisting immigrant families and prohibited Immigration and Customs Enforcement from conducting operations at Dodger Stadium.More bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
