White Sox Farquhar Faints In Dugout, Sent To Hospital

It was a frightening moment in the White Sox dugout when relief-pitcher Danny Farquhar passed out after pitching the sixth inning. Ballpark video captured the moment as a horde of Sox staff huddled around Farguhar to provide assistance.

Farquhar received treatment from EMTs and White Sox medical personnel and was taken to Rush University Medical Center for further treatment and evaluation. The White Sox issued a quick statement via Twitter to assuage concerns after Farquhar regained consciousness. This story will be updated with information as it becomes available.

Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune gathered a few quotes from the clubhouse after the game to see how the players and coaches felt while this incident played out. Rick Renteria: “It takes your breath away a little bit. One of your guys is down there and you have no idea what’s going on. The medical staff was there right away the whole time and they called into the EMTs, and somebody was already caring for him before they even got up.” James Shields: “That was pretty scary, to be honest with you. I don't really know the full extent of the situation to be honest with you. I do know he wasn't conscious when he left here. But from what I’m hearing right now, he's responding to questions and they're doing some further tests right now. So we're all praying for him.” Aaron Bummer: “A lot of us just came in from the game and we’re trying to kind of process everything that happened. We’re going to talk to some of the trainers and see what’s going on. We just hope he’s doing OK and is with us tomorrow.”
