Former Chicago White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar, who suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm during a game while pitching for Chicago last season, is rejoining the club as a minor league pitching instructor.
White Sox general manager Rick Hahn made the announcement Wednesday.
"It's something we have discussed with Danny going back well prior to the aneurysm," Hahn said, according to MLB.com. "We think he has a great deal of upside and a great future in coaching and player development. We're excited he decided to join us here in the coming weeks."
Farquhar, 32, was released by the New York Yankees in June after trying to work his way back onto a major league roster.
