Colorado Rockies right-hander Chad Bettis provided an uplifting update on Wednesday, revealing that he now is cancer-free.

Bettis, 27, announced earlier this offseason that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer, and he had surgery in November. In an interview with MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Wednesday, Bettis shared the good news:

"I feel great. I got an early Christmas present the other day. The doctor called me on Dec. 22 and told me that I'm cancer-free, so all is good and I'm ready to push forward here."
