Chicago White Sox officials said Sunday that reliever Danny Farquhar remains in critical but stable condition after collapsing in the dugout Friday night and suffering a brain hemorrhage.

Manager Rick Renteria said he’s addressed White Sox players about it but is keeping updates brief out of respect for Farquhar’s family.

“We made sure they knew that he’s still in critical condition but stable and that the best thing for us to do would be to give them space,” Renteria said. “Let the medical staff do what they can do and then at the appropriate time, everybody will let us know when it’s OK to go ahead, and reach out and go see him.”

Farquhar, 31, remains in the care of the neurosurgical team at Rush University Medical Center.

“Besides him being a great teammate and part of this brotherhood, I have to be respectful of his family,” pitcher Carson Fulmer said. “He’s a brother, he’s one of our teammates, and we’re all here for him and his family.”
