Danny Farquhar, who suffered a brain hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm last April 20 with the Chicago White Sox, began wearing custom-made head protection Thursday for his return to pitching with the New York Yankees, a team spokesman confirmed to ESPN's "Outside the Lines."
Farquhar, who turns 32 on Sunday, collapsed in the dugout after coming off the mound in a game against the Astros. He was taken to a Chicago hospital and underwent surgery.
Farquhar, signed to a minor league contract two weeks ago, is using a six-ounce product from Unequal Technologies that is fitted for the official Major League Baseball four-ounce New Era Cap, Unequal CEO Rob Vito told OTL.
