TAMPA, Fla. _ It looks like this chapter in Danny Farquhar's fabulous comeback story is over. The pitcher, who is trying to come back after suffering a brain hemorrhage last season, was among the players who were cut Tuesday and sent to minor league camp.
Farquhar was a reliever with the White Sox, when on April 20, 2018, he recorded two outs against the Astros and made the trot into the dugout. He then threw up and collapsed. The 32-year old was rushed into emergency surgery.
Farquhar made three appearances for the Yankees this spring with a 27.00 ERA. There was very little chance he would make the Yankees' major league roster. They have two spots open in their bullpen and with Luis Cessa and Tommy Kahnle both out of minor league options, meaning they would have to go through waivers to be sent to Triple-A, they will likely get them.
The Yankees signed him on a minor league deal this winter with an invite to major league spring training.
Among the other players cut and sent to minor league on Tuesday were Chance Adams, who made a start and two bullpen appearances, for the Yankees last season.
