Like the other bobbleheads in the “Starter Series,” Snell’s bobblehead shows him during a celebratory yell.
The bases of the “Starter Series” come together to spell out “2025 World Champion Starters,” and Snell’s bobblehead is meant to go first.
Snell has been recovering from a shoulder injury, and he’s been rehabbing in the minor leagues recently, including the Ontario Tower Buzzers and the Oklahoma City Comets.
He has another rehab start with the Tower Buzzers set for Saturday in Rancho Cucamonga, but he could be headed back to the Dodgers after that.
As reported by Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, Saturday is likely to be Snell’s last rehab start before returning to the Dodgers.
That will create a much-discussed roster crunch, especially in the starting pitching rotation.
Tyler Glasnow’s recent injury might give the Dodgers a bit more time to make a decision, but ultimately, someone will have to be moved.
Likely choices include Roki Sasaki and Emmet Sheehan.
