Last month while in Houston, Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. hit a line drive into the stands that hit a 2-year-old girl in the head. At the time, the extent of any injuries was unknown.
On Wednesday, the family’s attorney issued a statement and revealed that the little girl suffered a skull fracture and had a seizure as a result of being hit with the foul ball.

Houston attorney Richard Mithoff’s office released a news release Wednesday on the incident, marking the first time the family involved in the May 29 ordeal has publicly disclosed the young fan’s condition.

According to attorney’s office, the girl also had subdural bleeding, brain contusions and brain edema.
