New York City mayoral front-runner Andrew Yang was hospitalized Friday after suffering abdominal pain from an apparent kidney stone, his campaign said.

“After experiencing abdominal pain this morning, Andrew Yang visited an emergency room where he was diagnosed with what appears to be a kidney stone,” the campaign statement said.

Yang and his family were among the thousands of spectators to attend the Opening Day game at Yankee Stadium Thursday.He was admitted to Mount Sinai West on Friday and later discharged. Yang’s wife, Evelyn, remained with him during his brief hospital stay.

In a tweet Friday, the tech entrepreneur wrote: “Thank you to the team at Mt Sinai West for the excellent care! And thanks Evelyn for keeping me company as I experienced my first (and hopefully last) kidney stone. Have been discharged and will now proceed to drink lots of water for the rest of the day.”
