Carlos Rodon is not going to sugarcoat his first three starts as a Yankee.

But the left-hander is also not ready to sound the alarms after going 0-3 with a 7.36 ERA heading into Wednesday’s start against the Mets.

“I’m not happy with my performance, but I don’t think it’s one of those things where, ‘Oh, panic! I suck now,’ ” Rodon told The Post on Tuesday. “No, I suck in this moment. I suck right now. I do. I know that. So what do I need to do to not suck or suck less? That’s kind of what this week [has been about].

“Hell, even after Colorado, I went into that start in Anaheim thinking I was going to shove. That’s what I always think. I think I’m going to kick everybody’s ass. That’s the mentality I have to have, that’s the mentality you better have in this game, especially as a pitcher. But I didn’t. So it goes back to the drawing board.”

While Wednesday will mark Rodon’s latest opportunity to get his season heading in the right direction, it will also be his first time pitching at Yankee Stadium since blowing a kiss to a heckling Yankees fan during last week’s start against the Angels in Anaheim.

The gesture — which Rodon made while walking off the field after a second straight inning in which he allowed a two-run home run — drew plenty of attention.

After the game, Rodon and manager Aaron Boone both said it was better than alternative reactions that could have escalated the situation.

“Look, I was pissed off,” Rodon said Tuesday. “The guy screaming at me was pissed off. Good. But I’m not just going to walk around like a robot. It gets to a point where you’re pissed. I’ve had three bad starts, I’m 0-3. I’m not gonna make an excuse for myself. I’m human like you are. I’m going to screw up. I screwed up.

“Granted, the thing that pisses me off is when like seven years from now, my son Bo watches that, like, ‘Dad, why did you blow a kiss at someone?’ That’s when it looks like crap. That’s not good. That’s not what I want.”

Rodon said his “internal demons when I’m getting my butt whooped [are] slightly getting better,” referencing the time last season when he kicked a bat that hit a teammate’s leg in the dugout during a rough start with the Giants.

Blowing the kiss, he reasoned, was better than doing something potentially harmful like kicking a bat.

Still, his recent battles on the mound have left him eager to pitch again on Wednesday after having two extra days off between starts because of the schedule.

“I want to show up,” Rodon said. “I had seven days this week, which is nice for my body, but for my mind, we were doing loops on the hamster wheel, just running.”

The Yankees and Rodon are hoping they used the longer-than-usual layoff to their advantage.

After Rodon was tagged for six runs on four hits and five walks in 4 ¹/₃ innings against the Angels, Boone had mentioned that the lefty’s delivery was not as tight as it needed to be. Rodon said mechanics may be part of the issue — particularly how he moves down the mound — but it’s also not that cut and dry.

“You can’t just say, ‘Oh, it’s mechanics, that’s why he pitched bad,’” Rodon said. “No, I pitched bad because I sucked. I didn’t make pitches. You can tell that this year, it’s different. The hitters are hunting me, they’re hunting my strengths and what I do best, and they’re doing damage. I fall behind in counts, they’re sitting fastball, I throw fastball. They know that.”

Since the start of 2021, of all pitchers that have thrown at least 5,000 pitches, no one has used his four-seam fastball more often than Rodon — 60.3 percent of the time, per Baseball Savant.

But Rodon also has one of the highest fastball strikeout percentages during that stretch.

So, as with his recent poor results, he does not plan on running away from his best pitch, but said there could be tweaks to when he throws it or where his sights are.

As for the difficulty of trying to make these adjustments on the fly in July, as opposed to April — because he missed the first three months with a forearm muscle strain and back discomfort — Rodon wasn’t having it.

“I’m not going take the excuse of, ‘Well these guys are two months, three months ahead of you,’ ” he said. “I don’t give a s–t. I’m gonna win. That’s what I’m supposed to do.”
