Yankees manager Aaron Boone says Gerrit Cole is focused on fixing two issues before the playoffs begin, following Cole’s most recent start against the Mets. Boone expresses confidence in Cole’s ability to correct the problems and be ready for his next outing.

The reports describe Cole’s current postseason preparation rather than a specific medical or mechanical diagnosis. Both outlets cite the same Boone remarks, framing the discussion around Cole’s “quest” to improve promptly, with an emphasis on performance consistency as the postseason approaches.

While both sources align on the basic premise—Cole needs to address two concerns before the playoffs—the presentation stays general, relying on Boone’s expectation that Cole will be “right next time.” Neither outlet provides additional details on what the two issues are or how they will be resolved, focusing instead on the team’s outlook and Cole’s near-term readiness.
