Child Injured by Albert Almora Foul Ball During Cubs vs. Astros

A child was injured by a foul ball hit by Chicago Cubs center fielder Albert Almora Jr. during his team's game against the Houston Astros on Wednesday.

According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN, Minute Maid Park went "quiet" afterward while Almora went to a knee. Brian McTaggart of MLB.com noted an adult immediately ran up the aisle with the child after the hit.

Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic provided more details, pointing out some of Almora's teammates and a security guard near the area where the child was sitting provided him with support:
