Chad Bettis expected to start on Tuesday for the Rockies

Colorado Rockies pitcher Chad Bettis is expected to make a spot start on Tuesday versus the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

With Kyle Freeland hitting the IL with a blister, the Rockies needed someone to fill in against the Nats and Bettis is expected to get that nod, as long as he is not needed out of the bullpen on Monday.

Bettis has made 4 appearances this season (3 starts) posting an 8.79 ERA and 2.09 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and 8 walks in 14 1/3 innings pitched this season.
