The MLB CBA doesn't require it. Perhaps individual teams might, but there are many stories of Cubs and Brewers players driving themselves to the team hotel and taking the team bus to the stadium.
Most of the time, that actually wouldn't work, due to the way MLB road trips are constructed. The teams usually leave after the third game, directly from the stadium to whatever transportation they are using for the next series on the schedule. So a Cubs player might drive to Milwaukee for a Friday or Saturday game, but on Sunday, they'd need to leave Milwaukee with the rest of the team. That creates some complexity regarding the players' cars. I'm sure it happens some, but most of the time, probably not.
