The defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers met President Donald Trump on Monday, but a key player was significantly absent.
The hard launch lift Brusdar Graterol, as well as others, missed the celebration.
Graterol is on the injured list and did not play this season, so it may be his reasoning. Freddie Freeman, who is also on the injured list, was not spotted during the celebration either.

However, Graterol’s post on his Instagram stories did not help stop skepticism.
Monday afternoon, Graterol published a photo of himself and his daughter, subtitling him: “In my brown house”.
The Voltger Mookie Betts has decided to go there this year after withdrawing his trip with the Boston Red Sox in 2019.
“It’s not about me; I don’t want to be about me. These are dodgers. Because these boys were there for me,” said Betts, via La Times.

Betts said he had regretted not having made the trip in 2019, which manager Alex Cora and launcher David Price also jumped, saying he was thinking that he was a distraction.
Cora recently admitted that he had jumped By meeting Trump because he wanted to prioritize his country of origin in Puerto Rico. When the Red Sox visited the White House in May 2019, Puerto Rico was still recovering from the destruction of Hurricane Maria in 2017, and Cora was not satisfied with the response of the federal government.
The Dodgers beat Trump’s New York Yankees in five games last year.
