KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ The White Sox took the field for batting practice Friday at Kauffman Stadium wearing a shirt that reflects the wishes of the players.
White lettering on the black T-shirt reads "PRAY FOR 43" with "FOR DANNY" on the left sleeve.
One week ago, reliever Danny Farquhar collapsed in the Sox's dugout due to a ruptured aneurysm.
Farquhar, 31, underwent surgery and remains hospitalized at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, where he continues to make progress.
Sox manager Rick Renteria said Thursday that Farquhar is "doing well and has taken a couple of light walks with Lexie, his wife. He is progressing positively, and everyone is very thankful for that. It's all still guarded and very delicate, but we're happy to report that it's moving in a positive direction."
Fellow reliever Nate Jones said that Farquhar's No. 43 jersey would be taken to the bullpen.
"It will be out there until he walks back in here," Jones said. "He's a brother of ours and we care about him. He's still part of this team and we want to show our support."
Jones and his teammates have not been able to contact Farquhar.
"The family has asked that we allow Danny to zone in on the healing process, so we have respected their wishes," he said. "We pray, think about it and we'll be here for him when he needs us."
