Chicago White Sox issued a brief statement Thursday publicly confirming that the fan who plummeted roughly ten feet into the visiting bullpen during Wednesday’s 6-5 win over Kansas City is “doing well.” The organization said a friend relayed a positive update and that the club wishes the spectator a speedy recovery. No name, hospital or injury specifics were released.

Video from MLB.com shows the patron slipping over a three‑foot barrier in Section 105, landing amid grass and dirt at the west end of the bullpen. He rose as second‑baseman Chase Meidroth drove a run‑scoring sacrifice fly in the third inning. The incident delayed play in the fourth with Kansas City runners on first and second, prompting workers to ferry the fan on a stretcher.

Reliever Nick Mears told reporters baseball “is just a game” when lives are at stake, emphasizing the priority was getting the fan proper care. The White Sox finished the night with a 6‑5 edge over the Royals, and the brief pause left the scoreboard unchanged. Officially, the club’s swift response underscored its commitment to fan safety.
