Take a peek inside the dynamic world of Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon and his wife, Ashley. Their family life — with kids Willow, Bo and Silo — is a delightful blend of baseball buzz and lovely everyday chaos. Ashley often shares glimpses on Instagram, capturing relatable moments that resonate with fans. From silly faces to sweet sibling moments, their story is told with delightful honesty. Recently, another classic Rodon family celebration offered a perfect peek into the joy and entertaining messiness that defines their loving home.

Just as their youngest, Silo, turned 2, Ashley posted a perfectly fitting tribute. She shared a video showing an ecstatic Silo in all his toddler glory, playfully stomping his birthday cake with enthusiasm. It was pure, unrefined two-year-old fun, messy and glorious. Along with the clip, Ashley wrote a caption full of love and laughter: “The most fitting birthday post I could ever come up with. Our strong-willed, energetic, funny baby is officially two. 🤪🤍 We love you Si!” It’s a wish wrapped in warmth and humor.

This funny cake-stomping sequence provided a comforting familiarity for viewers acquainted with the Rodon family adventures. For brother Bo’s second birthday highlight back in 2023, when he covered himself in food. Ashley referred to him as her “little entertainer 🤍” at the time. Ashley even added laughing emojis to Carlos’s 32nd birthday post in 2024, writing, “Thank goodness you were born 🤣🤍.” These genuine birthday moments, full of playful chaos, appear to be a cherished family tradition, celebrating personality over perfection.

But the Rodon’s skill at capturing heartwarming moments doesn’t stop at birthdays. Snapshots of their sweet, everyday lives can be found on Ashley’s Instagram. Think cozy movie nights with Silo settled into the lap of Carlos, holding popcorn — as the two shared last December. Or imagine a sunny beach photoshoot from January in which Bo’s well-meaning attempt to “help” Silo construct a sandcastle ends comically with it crashing down, as big sister Willow giggles nearby.

Their adventures continue with moments like Carlos riding a carousel with the kids, his smile mirroring theirs. Ashley previously posted a hilarious video of Bo stealing a taste of his father’s dinner, captioning it perfectly as “Being a parent in a nutshell.” Willow is also seen proudly cheering for “Daddy Los” from the stands (in appropriate mini Yankees gear) while he’s out on the field. These small scenes create a picture of a real family bond. From birthday cake stomps to dugout cheers, the Rodóns are serving up heart and humor — both on the field and off.

Inside Carlos Rodon’s beautifully chaotic home life

Their warmth radiates beyond their household and into the wider Yankees community. Ashley frequently posts encouraging moments, like her laughing reaction when shortstop Anthony Volpe joked that she’s the “real MVP” who keeps Carlos in check. There are also sweet playdate moments, like when Bo played with Gerrit Cole’s son Caden at a charity gala, all captured with Ashley’s caption, “Future Yankees in the making?” 

What’s your perspective on:

Does Carlos Rodón's family life give him an edge on the mound, or is it a distraction?

Have an interesting take?

This sense of community comes alive in other shared moments, including those adorable hugs exchanged between Willow and Alex Verdugo’s son Efrain during a game last season. Ashley’s warm Instagram interactions with other Yankees wives, such as Yamille Verdugo or Amy Cole, also demonstrate these connections. Even manager Aaron Boone’s wife, Laura, joins in, texting her congratulations after a good game. These relationships show a supportive community flourishing with the families on the teams.

In addition to the heartwarming family updates and team connections, Carlos and Ashley dedicate time to giving back. Through the Carlos Rodón Foundation, they help causes dear to their heart. The Willow Grant, named after their daughter after facing their own fertility issues, help other families afford treatments such as IVF. They’re also advocates for underprivileged children through their Wild Wanderers initiative, inviting them to share their love of nature. Their charitable work adds another layer of purpose to their journey.

All of this, of course, takes place against the backdrop of Carlos’s demanding job on the mound. He is 1–1 with a 4.50 ERA through two starts in the 2025 season, as he navigates pitching duties while Gerrit Cole is sidelined. The Yankees, sitting at a respectable 4-3, are flexing their offensive muscle, with 15 home runs, but need to clean things up defensively. It’s a never-ending balancing act, melding elite competition with the sweet chaos of family life, a path the Rodóns tread with grace and humor. Stay tuned for more peeks into their lives!
