New bobbleheads will be made, but likely will not be available until next season due to manufacturing and shipping times, the Cubs said in their message to fans.

The 10,000 fans who received the giveaway will be contacted with more details on how to exchange the incorrect bobblehead.

The Reds went on to beat the Cubs 8-5 Saturday.
