Indians 'Thankful' 3-Year Old OK After Being Hit by a Francisco Lindor Foul Ball

The Cleveland Indians announced a three-year-old boy who was hit by a foul ball off the bat of shortstop Francisco Lindor during Sunday's game against the Kansas Royals was released from the hospital later that evening.

The Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com) reported the news, noting an adult who was holding the child immediately left the area after he was hit.

"The Indians organization and Francisco Lindor are very thankful Henry is doing well," the team said Tuesday, per the AP.

Potentially extending the protective netting in place at ballparks has been a topic of discussion throughout the 2019 MLB season.
