White Sox vice president Ken Williams said that Farquhar (head) underwent a complicated surgery Saturday to relieve swelling around his brain, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. Farquhar is in critical, but stable condition and will remain hospitalized for at least the next three weeks so he can be closely monitored by neurosurgeons.
EDGE Analysis
Farquhar was rushed to the hospital shortly after collapsing in the dugout following his appearance in Friday's loss to the Astros. It was later revealed that he suffered a brain hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm, which necessitated a medical procedure. At the request of Farquhar's family, the White Sox have declined to release information regarding the pitcher's treatment, so it's not guaranteed that he'll be discharged from the hospital when the three-week evaluation period ends. Ensuring Farquhar can enjoy a healthy, normal life going forward will be the White Sox's top priority rather than rushing him back on the mound.

Farquhar has earned a spot in the White Sox's Opening Day bullpen, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Upon joining the White Sox last August, Farquhar became one of the more trusted relievers in a green bullpen, finishing with a 4.40 ERA (3.65 FIP) and four holds across 14.1 innings with the South Siders. With Nate Jones back to full health to begin the season and the White Sox adding Joakim Soria and Luis Avilan to their relief corps over the winter, Farquhar will move down a few rungs in the pecking order and may have to settle for more work in the middle innings in 2018.

Farquhar reached a one-year, $1.05 million deal with the White Sox on Friday to avoid arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
Farquhar will return to Chicago after joining the club in late July, following his release from Tampa Bay. Throughout the course of the 2017 season with both clubs, he recorded a 4.20 ERA and 45:28 K:BB in 49.1 innings of relief work. He will likely settle back into a high-leverage role within the White Sox's bullpen for the upcoming campaign.

Farquhar will join the White Sox prior to Saturday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Farquhar was called up to the big-league club just a month after being released by Tampa Bay, following 37 appearances with the club in 2017. During those outings, he posted a 4.11 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 35 innings of relief, and will provide more depth out of the bullpen for Chicago moving forward. In a corresponding move, the team placed Reynaldo Lopez on the 10-day DL with a strained back.

Farquhar signed a contract with the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Just four days after being released by the Rays, Farquhar has already found a new home. The right-hander struggled with command this season, but his nice strikeout metrics could help him land a job in the big-league bullpen. For now, though, he'll act as an organizational depth piece at Triple-A Charlotte.

Farquhar was released by Tampa Bay on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farquhar was outrighted to Triple-A Durham after being designated for assignment by the club in late June, and will now head to the open market following Thursday's release. During 37 appearances with the Rays this season, Farquhar posted a 4.11 ERA with a WHIP of 1.43 over the course of 35 innings. The reliever had spent the past couple years between the big leagues and Durham, but primarily served out of Tampa Bay's bullpen this season. Although he wasn't typically used during high-leverage situations, the right-hander has pitched well enough the past few seasons to warrant another chance at the major-league level.
