Report: Yankees to sign Danny Farquhar after life-threatening brain aneurysm

Danny Farquhar is returning to baseball after a life-threatening injury last season.

The Yankees are signing Farquhar to a minor-league deal, reports Fancred's Jon Heyman.

Farquhar survived a scary incident this past season, when he suffered ruptured brain aneurysm in the dugout while playing for the Chicago White Sox. Farquhar suddenly collapsed in the dugout after pitching in relief in a game on April 20, but he was rushed to the hospital and survived.

He was later discharged on May 7 and was cleared to resume baseball activities in June.

Farquhar told MLB.com in November that he thought he could have returned to pitch last season. "I felt like I could have faced big league batters and been just fine," Farquhar said. "I actually had some pretty positive doctors that believed in me. … They saw my drive the whole way. They thought for sure I'd be back on the field, and now I just have to wait for 2019 for that to happen."
