Youth OK after struck by foul ball

TORONTO — The 3-year-old boy hit by a foul ball in Cleveland last weekend is showing no signs of serious injury, the Indians said Tuesday.

The boy, identified by the team as Henry, was hit by a line drive off the bat of Indians All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor in the sixth inning of a 5-4 win over Kansas City on Sunday. An adult holding the child left the seating area immediately afterward.

Cleveland said in a statement the boy was released from a hospital on Sunday evening.

“The Indians organization and Francisco Lindor are very thankful Henry is doing well,” the team said Tuesday.
