Overview
- Nine-year-old Simón Falah‑Assadi Martínez was struck in the head by a foul ball on August 20 in section D1 at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú, an area not covered by the protective netting.
- The stadium and Diablos Rojos said in an official statement that he is out of danger and remains under strict observation in intensive care.
- His mother says he underwent emergency surgery to relieve a cerebral hemorrhage and he is currently reported as stable under ongoing treatment.
- The family launched blood-donation efforts at Hospital Ángeles del Pedregal and started a GoFundMe drive, citing lack of medical-expense insurance; La Jornada reports a MXN 300,000 goal with MXN 37,562 raised and hospital charges around MXN 350,000 as of Saturday.
- Team officials say they are supporting the family and offered accompaniment through the venue’s insurance, while the mother describes contact from a broker with a claim number but no confirmed coverage decision yet.
