I delve into the standings after all of the Sunday games have been completed to track the Yankees' progress over the week that just ended.

Here is an updated look at the American League East standings and the American League Wild Card standings:

Since the last look at the standings, the Yankees have gone 6-2 and gained 1.5 games in the AL East. The Red Sox went 4-3 over that same period.

In the Wild Card standings, the Yankees gained 1.5 games. The Indians went 4-3.

The Red Sox magic number to eliminate the Yankees is 58 (down six from last week).

The Indians magic number to eliminate the Yankees is 59 (down six from last week).
