White Sox pitcher Farquhar in critical but stable condition after brain surgery

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Danny Farquhar is in stable condition as he recovers in the ICU at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. He underwent multiple procedures after suffering a brain hemorrhage in the dugout during Friday night's game.

He underwent a complicated procedure on Saturday to relieve swelling around his brain.

"He’s a fighter, and he’s in the fight of his life right now," White Sox vice president Ken Williams told USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale. “They had to do another surgery, cracking his skull open, and putting a clamp on it. My God.

"This certainly shows the fragility of life and how we take every day for granted. And it can change in a heartbeat. Literally."

The 31-year-old will stay under observation at the hospital for at least three weeks. While stable following the surgeries, he remains in critical condition.
