DENVER -- Colorado Rockies right-hander Chad Bettis hopes to be back on the mound for spring training after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.Bettis said in a statement that he underwent surgery on Nov. 29 to have a testicle removed after bloodwork revealed an abnormality. Bettis added that doctors are confident the cancer was isolated and hasnt spread.I was completely caught off guard by my diagnosis, but have subsequently found that the vast majority of cases occur in men 20 to 40 years of age, and that the survival rate is 99 percent when contained and caught early, Bettis said in the statement released through his agent, Matt Sosnick. This only reinforces my belief that each of us needs to be totally in tune with our own physical health, and that taking action sooner than later when we feel like something is off can sometimes literally be the difference between life and death.The news was first reported by ESPN. The Rockies wished him well on the teams Twitter account as he works toward a return for spring training in February.My understanding is that I will be physically ready to have a normal spring training, and I greatly look forward to the upcoming season, Bettis said. The Rockies and the MLBPA have been great, and I truly appreciate the care and support shown by (general manager) Jeff Bridich to both me and my family.The 27-year-old Bettis was 14-8 with a 4.79 ERA last season. He figures to be an integral part of the 2017 starting rotation under first-year Colorado manager Bud Black.Bettis was a second-round pick by the Rockies in 2010. Bradley Bozeman Jersey .

Hes a great guy who has done incredible work with charities. Im confident that Pine Bros. fans will support our decision to give Ryan a second chance.The Pine Brothers endorsement is likely to be joined by a spot on Dancing With The Stars. Sources told ESPN on Wednesday that Lochte was a virtual shoo-in to be named when the shows personalities are announced on Good Morning America next Tuesday.Three of Lochtes partners -- Speedo, Airweave and Gentle Hair Removal -- all severed their deals?with the 12-time Olympic medalist Monday. Ralph Lauren, which counted Lochte as its biggest Olympic spokesperson, said its deal ended with the Olympics and would not renew him.On Aug. 14, the morning after the swimming competition ended at the Riio Games, Lochte and three teammates asked a cab driver to stop at a gas station so they could use the restroom.dddddddddddd The group urinated outside the station, and Lochte damaged a promotional poster. Two security guards confronted the men, and guns were drawn during an altercation. The Americans paid about $50 before they were allowed to go.Lochtes version of the story changed several times. In an interview with NBC on the morning of the incident, Lochte said the taxi he was in was pulled over, and he was robbed and had a gun put to his head. Three days later, he told NBC that he and the other swimmers were victims and that he hadnt made up the story.On Aug. 19, Lochte apologized on Instagram, saying he accept[ed] responsibility for my role in this happening and have learned some valuable lessons. The next day, in an interview with Today, he said he was intoxicated during the incident and that he overexaggerated the story.The three other swimmers -- Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen -- have all released statements apologizing for their role in the scandal, as well.Lochte finished the Rio Games with only one medal -- a gold in the 4x200 relay.
