The Chicago White Sox and Illinois Sports Facilities Authority are planning to extend the protective netting at Guaranteed Rate Field down the lines to the foul poles, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reported on Tuesday.
According to Van Schouwen, the changes will be made as soon as possible this season.
The push for increased netting comes after Chicago Cubs player Albert Almora Jr. hit a hard line-drive foul into the stands at a game against the Houston Astros on May 29, striking a child. On June 10, another fan was bloodied and taken to a hospital after being hit by a foul ball off the bat of Eloy Jimenez.
