TAMPA, Fla. -- Danny Farquhar, the New York Yankees reliever making a dramatic return to pitching, may be close to finally appearing in a game for the first time since last April when he was hospitalized due to a brain hemorrhage.
Following a strong outing in a simulated game Sunday, Farquhar faced another series of Yankees batters inside George M. Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday morning as he made a second sim game appearance.
Pleased with his work both days, Farquhar is expecting to pitch in Saturday's spring-training game at the Pittsburgh Pirates' complex in Bradenton, Florida.
