White Sox pitcher Farquhar returns home after hospital discharge
After spending two and a half weeks in the hospital following a brain hemorrhage, White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar has been discharged and is resting comfortably at home, team officials announced Monday.
Farquhar, 31, suffered a brain hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm during a game at Guarantee Rate Field on April 20 against the Houston Astros. He was discharged Monday afternoon from Rush University Medical Center, where he underwent surgery on April 21.
Here is a statement from White Sox officials:
"Dr. Demetrius Lopes, Farquhar's neurosurgeon, expects Danny to be able to pitch again in the future, but Dr. Lopes will not medically release Farquhar to pitch in a competitive game during the 2018 season in order to allow him to fully recover from the brain hemorrhage.
"Farquhar and his family have appreciated the many cards, tweets, texts and well wishes they have received from friends and fans over the past weeks. The White Sox organization continues to wish Danny a speedy and full recovery."
