A child was taken to a hospital after being struck by a foul ball during a game Wednesday between the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros.
The Astros, who hosted the game at Minute Maid Park, said in a statement that they were not able to disclose any more details, other than to confirm that the child was taken to a hospital.
“The Astros send our thoughts and prayers to the entire family,” the team said in the statement.
The foul ball, a fourth inning line drive into the stands along the third-base line, came off the bat of the Cubs’ Albert Almora Jr.
