Chad Bettis Scratched From Saturday Start
6 years agoColorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Bettis has been scratched from his scheduled start against Seattle on Saturday due to a blister on his right middle finger. Bettis was expected to come back from the disabled list for the start after having been sidelined due to the blister issue, but manager Bud Black said that the team will instead let Bettis heal over the All-Star break in hopes that the issue won't pop up again. Bettis had a hot run earlier in the season, but he hasn't been good for the last couple months due to his combination of a low strikeout rate and pitching regularly in Coors Field.
