Chicago White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar in “fight of his life” after procedure to relieve brain swelling

Danny Farquhar, the Chicago White Sox relief pitcher who collapsed in the dugout during a game Friday night after suffering a brain hemorrhage, underwent an additional procedure to relieve swelling over the weekend and, according to a team official, is “in the fight of his life right now.”

Farquhar, who began vomiting in the sixth inning and then collapsed from the ruptured aneurysm, was taken by ambulance to Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, where, the team said, he remains in critical but stable condition.

“He’s a fighter, and he’s in the fight of his life right now,” Chicago White Sox vice president Ken Williams told USA Today.
