Winterizing & washer drain

Question on winterizing that I can't seem to find the answer. My unit is plumbed for a washer/dryer but I don't have one. I ran antifreeze through the hot & cold spigots for the washer and my question is do I need to pour antifreeze into the washer drain pipe that is capped as I don't know if it has a trap in it. Thoughts?

If it is capped and never been used then there should not be any water in it. I would not worry sbout it.

X2, no way water could get in if it's capped and never been used.

I put RV antifreeze down the washer drain even though I don't have a washer/dryer installed. Likely illogical overkill but makes me feel better.
