What happened: The New York Yankees have played at the majors’ lowest level for nearly three weeks, with breakdowns across offense, defense and pitching. Their recent slide continued Sunday, leaving them 49-40 entering Monday’s scheduled game.

Why it matters: The downturn has pushed the Yankees four games back in their division despite a strong overall run differential. Continued struggles could deepen the standings gap before the All-Star break.

By the numbers: The Yankees are 49-40 with a .551 winning percentage and a plus-78 run differential. They are 1-9 over their past 10 games and four games out of first place.

What to watch: Monday begins a four-game road series. The Yankees need steadier production across every phase to halt the slide.
