White Sox reliever Danny Farquhar released from hospital; doctor says he could pitch again

CHICAGO _ Good news continues to surface regarding Danny Farquhar, the White Sox reliever who suffered a brain hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Farquhar, 31, was discharged from Rush University Medical Center on Monday and is resting at home with his family, Sox officials said in a news release.

Not only that, Farquhar's neurosurgeon expects Farquhar to be able to pitch again, though not in 2018. Dr. Demetrius Lopes is ordering Farquhar to use the rest of this season to fully recover from the brain hemorrhage.

The Farquhar family said it has appreciated the many cards, tweets and texts it received from friends and fans since he collapsed in the Sox dugout April 20 after pitching against the Astros.

Sox players have been wearing T-shirts that read, "PRAY FOR 43," with "FOR DANNY" on the left sleeve. Fellow relievers have hung his No. 43 jersey in the bullpen.

"It will be out there until he walks back in here," Nate Jones said recently. "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."
