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. The Rockies won his last nine starts at Coors Field after June 9.

New manager Jose Mourinho is already planning his overhaul of Uniteds squad as he attempts to build a team capable of winning the Premier League. Sky Sports News HQ understands Blind and Juan Mata are set to be high-profile departures from the club, with Mourinho happy to approve the sale of both players this summer should United receive acceptable bids. Blind, Mata set for Utd exit Daley Blind and Juan Mata set for Manchester United exit this summer But Blind insists he wants to work with Mourinho and is keen to extend his stay in the Premier League.Blind told Dutch media outlet NOS: I am looking forward to working with Mourinho. We will have to wait and see whether anything changes for me.I will just give my all and work hard. Mourinho is a manager who has achieved a lot and I am keen to work with him.After playing primarily in midfield during his first season at United, Blind operated almost exclusively at centre-half alongside Chris Smalling last season. Blind formed a successful partnership with Chris Smalling last season However his lack of size - he is 5ft 11 - may prevent him from reprising the role under Mourinho, with the Portuguese well known for his preference for tall players through the spine of his teams.ddddddddddddIf you dont have five tall players, he said during his time in charge of Chelsea, you are dead at set pieces.Blind recognises he is not as big as most centre-halves but pointed to Uniteds excellent defensive record last season - they conceded a league-lowest 35 goals along with Tottenham - as evidence of his ability to perform in the role.I might not be as big as Pepe [who Mourinho coached at Real Madrid] but I think I have shown in the Premier League that I can hold my own defensively, Blind said.We conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League and I think we got the most clean sheets. Thats something to be proud of. I played nearly every game and that is a good feeling.You might be looking for a certain statement, but I will just give my all under Mourinho.
