CHICAGO _ White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar suffered a ruptured aneurysm that caused a brain hemorrhage Friday night during the team's game against the Astros.
The Sox said in a statement Saturday that he is stable but in critical condition in the ICU at Rush University Medical Center. He is being cared for by Dr. Demetrius Lopes and the Rush neurosurgical team.
Farquhar was taken to the hospital after passing out in the dugout at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday night.
Farquhar threw 15 pitches in the sixth inning of the Sox's 10-0 loss to the Astros. In the bottom of the inning, he lost consciousness. Sox medical staff and EMTs crowded the dugout to tend to him and take him into the team clubhouse.
Farquhar regained consciousness and was taken to Rush for further evaluation.
Farquhar, 31, is in his seventh major-league season and his second season with the Sox after signing on as a free agent midway through 2017.
The Sox called up reliever Gregory Infante and placed Farquhar on the 10-day disabled list.
