Danny Farquhar, a relief pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, was released from the hospital on Monday.
According to ESPN, the 31-year-old right-hander’s doctor said Farquhar could continue playing baseball if he wanted to. However, the surgeon decided not to clear the pitcher for the rest of this season. Thus, Farquhar may likely not return to the White Sox’ lineup until 2019.
