Colorado Rockies pitcher Chad Bettis has been diagnosed with testicular cancer and underwent surgery to have one of his testicles removed in late November, he said in a statement to ESPN on Monday night.Bettis, 27, said he expects to make a full recovery and will be ready to report for spring training in Arizona in February and be part of Colorados starting rotation in 2017.During an appointment in November, my doctor noticed an abnormality and ordered further tests and advanced blood work, Bettis said in a statement released through his agent, Matt Sosnick. The following Monday, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had one of my testicles removed the next day, on Tuesday, November 29.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. 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 surgeon is very confident that the cancer was isolated and has not spread and that my ability to have children should not be affected. 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.My understanding is that I will be physically ready to have a normal spring training, and I greatly look forward to the upcoming season. I thank my friends and family for their love and kindness and ask that privacy be shown to both my wife and myself until spring training begins.Bettis, 27, was selected by Colorado in the second round of the 2010 first-year player draft out of Texas Tech. He made his major league debut in 2013 after missing the entire 2012 season with a shoulder injury.Bettis went 14-8 with a 4.79 ERA in 32 starts this season and led the Colorado staff with 186 innings pitched.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The city of Cleveland will open its doors to the sports world this week when the Cavaliers raise their 2016 NBA championship banner Tuesday on the same night the Indians host Game 1 of World Series.LeBron James, born about 40 miles south of Gateway Plaza, where Progressive Field and Quicken Loans Arena are located across from one another downtown, said it will be a spectacle unlike any his hometown has ever seen.Its a special day for our fans in Cleveland, in Northeast Ohio to be able to live and enjoy for a day, James said after practice Monday. They get an opportunity to just remember this day, us receiving our rings and our Indians being able to host Game 1 of the World Series, so, its a day that will go down in history. For anyone that lives here, they will never forget it. So, Im happy Im a part of it.The Cavs will play the New York Knicks at 7:30 p.m. ET, moving their tipoff time up a half-hour to accommodate Cleveland fans who want to watch the pregame ring ceremony and still catch the first pitch between the Indians and Chicago Cubs at 8:08 p.m. ET.James, a known New York Yankees fan, explained how he maintains an allegiance to both the Bronx Bombers and one of their American League rivals in the Indians.Im a supporter of winners, man, James said. As a kid, Ive told you guys long before this day, when I was a kid growing up I needed inspiration to get out of the situation I was in. So, I loved the [Chicago] Bulls, I loved the [Dallas] Cowboys, I loved the Yankees. Those are winning franchises. Those are people that I liked because they gave me hope of being a winner. So, thats part of the reason why Ive always loved those teams. But Im definitely in support of what the Indians are doing right now.So much so that he has committed to making a wager with Chicago native Dwyane Wade over the series outcome, only he hasnt quite ironed out the details of the bet.I dont know, James said. Were both wine drinkers, so it will probably go to that. He has his own wine too, so, welll probably figure that in or I dont know, we both have kids.dddddddddddd So well figure something out.The rest of the Cavs are trying to figure out how they will manage their emotions as they celebrate their historic 3-1 comeback against the Golden State Warriors and then immediately try to focus on beating the Knicks.Like I told some of the guys already, I might cry, but we still have a game to play, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. I might cry, its going to be emotional, and rightfully so. Weve done something that no other team has done in NBA history, we brought a championship to the city of Cleveland, so its going to be an emotional night and we expect that. Guys should embrace that. We still have a game to play. If guys that won a championship, they cant handle it, then Ill play guys that didnt win: [Mike] Dunleavy Jr. and guys that are hungry and trying to win another one.James, who was 2-0 on ring night during his time with the Miami Heat, has experience with the balancing act.Its unfortunate that you have to go right from reliving all your accomplishments from the previous year to getting ready to, now, lets start to play the game right away, James said. So, its very difficult, its very challenging but its what it is and we have to be ready.Should the Indians beat the Cubs, Cleveland would become just the second city to win both the NBA and MLB championships in the same calendar year, joining Los Angeles, which did it in 1988 (Lakers and Dodgers) and 2002 (Lakers and Angels).This is a unique time, James said. You got one team like you said that [last won a championship] in 1948 and another one in [1908], this is a unique time, especially for the MLB and just for sports period. Its great to have those two teams. Those fans and all Cubs fans, obviously they got two [baseball teams [in Chicago], but Cubs fans and Indians fans deserve it, and, may the best ball club win. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
