Bettis, who has been declared cancer-free, threw a healthy bullpen session Wednesday, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.
This also came with the news that he was given a healthy prognosis after blood tests and a tumor marker assured doctors that he remains free of cancer. After he was cleared, he slid back into a near-regular offseason throwing program and should be ready for the start of the season. He'll still require blood work every three-to-six months to assure that the cancer hasn't resurfaces, but he'll likely assume his role in the Rockies' rotation after leading the team with 14 wins last season.
