New York Yankees starter Carlos Rodon’s wife, Ashley, commented on the mark spotted on the two-time All-Star’s neck during his latest 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 brought up the same on 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.
