NEW YORK — Watch Yankees beat reporter Brendan Kuty explain why it’s time to panic over struggling ace Luis Severino following an 8-5 loss to the Mets at Yankee Stadium on Monday night.

Would Donaldson-to-Yankees make sense?

Here are some Yankees notes, via the team’s media relations department.

The Yankees fell to 3-2 on their season-long 11-game homestand…are 6-2 in their last 8G…are a season-high 10.0G behind first-place Boston (idle tonight), their largest division deficit since finishing the 2016 season 10.0G back.
Suffered their second series loss of the season (also 1-3 from 4/5-8 vs. Baltimore)…had gone 13-0-3 in their previous 16 series, their longest streak without dropping a series at home since going 20-0-5 over 25 series from 9/15/97-8/16/98…are still 41-18 (.695) at Yankee Stadium.
Fell to 10-8 in Interleague play…went 3-3 in 6G vs. the Mets in 2018, splitting the Subway Series for the third time in five years (2016, ’14).
3B Miguel Andujar (1-for-4) hit a two-run HR in the eighth…has homered in four of his last 7G (since 8/7), batting .345 (10-for-29) with 8R, 1 double, 4HR, 10RBI, 1BB, 1HP and 1SB…his 18HR are tied with teammate Gleyber Torres and Chicago-AL’s Daniel Palka for the lead among AL rookies (tied for second among MLB rookies to San Diego’s Christian Villanueva-20HR)…has RBI in five consecutive games (8RBI).
CF Aaron Hicks (2-for-3, 1R, 1RBI, 1BB) hit an RBI single in the third…has at least 1RBI in nine of his last 15G since 7/28.
Has reached safely (via H/BB/HP) multiple times in 13-of-16 home games since the start of July, batting .385/.529/.788 (20-for-52) with 16R, 3 doubles, 6HR, 14RBI, 17BB and 1SB. * LF Brett Gardner (1-for-4, 1R, 1 double, 1BB) collected his 200th career double in the fifth.
DH Giancarlo Stanton (0-for-3, 1R, 1BB) has scored at least 1R in eight consecutive games, tying his career best (8G from 8/10-18/17 w/ Miami).
Yankees batters had their multi-HR streak snapped at seven games…was tied for the second-longest multi-HR streak in franchise history, behind a nine-game streak from 5/15-23/09.
Have scored at least 5R in 15 consecutive home games…is the second-longest such streak at home in franchise history (21 straight from 6/2- 7/14/38)…is tied for the seventh-longest such streak in Major League history, and tied for the longest since the start of 2001 (Boston, 15 straight from 8/2-9/1/05).
Have hit a Major League-leading 193HR…are on pace to hit 264HR (the MLB record is 264HR by Seattle in 1997).
RHP Luis Severino (4.0IP, 7H, 4ER, 1BB, 6K, 2HR) started and took his sixth loss…marked his shortest start of the season…is 1-4 with a 7.84 ERA (31.0IP, 27ER) in his last six starts after winning his previous six starts with a 1.67 ERA (32.1IP, 6ER)…has allowed at least 1HR in a career-high seven consecutive starts…allowed his first career leadoff HR to Amed Rosario.
