Carlos Rodon’s wife Ashley clears the air about Yankees pitcher’s hickeys on display vs Giants

New York Yankees starter Carlos Rodon’s wife Ashley commented on the mark spotted on the two-time All-Star’s neck during his recent outing. Coming off an 8-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants, the Yankees began the final game of their three-game series on Sunday.

Carlos Rodon was scheduled as the starter and faced Giants ace Logan Webb, who took the mound opposite him. Rodon got off to a solid start, tossing three scoreless innings while the Yankees built a 3-0 lead.

During his outing, fans noticed a circular mark on Rodon’s neck. One fan took to X (formerly Twitter) and tagged Ashley Rodon, asking:

“Is that a hickey on Rodons neck? @AshleyRodon”

Ashley playfully responded:

“Yes I like to leave hickeys in a perfect circle. Just marking my territory kind of thing.”

After a solid first three innings, Carlos Rodon gave up a 406-foot solo homer to the Giants’ Jung Hoo Lee. He bounced back with a three-batter, scoreless fifth inning. However, Rodon struggled in the sixth, allowing another homer to Lee, this time a three-run shot with two runners on base, giving the Giants a 4-3 lead over the Yankees.

Shortly after the hit, Rodon was replaced by right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. In the seventh inning, the Giants added another run, extending their lead to 5-3. The Yankees managed to cut the deficit with a solo homer from Jazz Chisholm Jr., but ultimately fell 5-4 to San Francisco.
