White Sox say fan taken to hospital for evaluation after getting struck by a foul ball during Monday's game

A woman was taken to a hospital after getting struck by a foul ball Monday night during the White Sox-Nationals game at Guaranteed Rate Field, the Sox said.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Sox left fielder Eloy Jimenez fouled a ball down the left-field line that struck the woman, who was sitting a few rows back. The Sox said she was alert and communicative but was taken to an area hospital for evaluation. They did not reveal the fan’s name or the hospital.

The Sox have netting at Guaranteed Rate Field that extends past the dugouts, as required by Major League Baseball since last season, but not all the way up the lines.
