“A walk to the slumping Bo Bichette followed, as did a walk to the ever-dangerous Juan Soto.”
DISPUTED
The claim states Rodón walked Bo Bichette and Juan Soto while playing for the Yankees against the Mets. However, the evidence shows that in 2026, both Bo Bichette and Juan Soto are playing FOR the New York Mets, meaning they would be opponents, not teammates, and the claim implies they were walked in a specific sequence that isn't corroborated by the game logs provided.

“a two-out walk to Austin Slater in the fourth haunted Rodón, as it extended the inning and allowed Baty to come up and hammer a 111-mph double over Aaron Judge in right field to drive in Slater and make it 3-1.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The evidence for the fourth inning of Rodón's return describes him walking Contreras and Gary Sanchez and hitting Andrew Vaughn, which contradicts the claim that he walked Austin Slater and gave up a double to Brett Baty.
