White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar suffered a brain hemorrhage during Friday night’s game, tests revealed, after he passed out in the dugout and was taken to the hospital during the sixth inning.
The team announced Saturday that Farquhar is stable but in critical condition at RUSH University Medical Center.
“Tests have revealed that Chicago White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar suffered a brain hemorrhage during the sixth inning of last night’s game, and additional overnight testing at RUSH University Medical Center revealed that a ruptured aneurysm caused the brain bleed,” the announcement read. “Currently stable but in critical condition in the neurosurgical ICU unit at RUSH, Farquhar continues to receive treatment and close monitoring by Dr. Demetrius Lopez and the neurosurgical team. The White Sox will provide additional updates on Farquhar’s health over the coming days as appropriate, but the club also asks that you respect the privacy of the Farquhar family at this time. Thank you.”
The White Sox later placed Farquhar on the disabled list and called up Gregory Infante.
