ROCKIES PITCHER BACK FROM CANCER TREATMENT

-

Colorado Rockies right-hander

Chad Bettis will complete his comeback from chemothera­py for testicular cancer by starting Monday’s game in Denver against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-yearold finished his last round of treatment in May, two months after doctors discovered his testicular cancer had spread. He had surgery in November to remove the cancer, but it returned and he left the team in March for chemothera­py. The game will be Bettis’ first since Sept. 30. He went 14-8 for the Rockies last year.
