Kansas City had runners on first and second with none out in the fourth inning when the delay occurred.
It looked as if stadium workers used a stretcher to transport the fan out of the bullpen area beyond the wall in right field.
After receiving assistance, the fan was taken out of the bullpen on a gurney. The White Sox said that the fan was subsequently taken to a local hospital for further treatment but did not provide details on the fan’s condition or the nature of the injuries.
According to a White Sox announcement, the short delay was to allow club personnel to provide treatment. As the fan was being attended to, the players and coaches in the Royals’ bullpen gathered in the corner near the gate to give the response team extra space to work.
