DAVIE, Fla. -- Hes 6-foot-4 and 305 pounds, yet easy to overlook.Ndamukong Suh plays tackle but seldom makes one because hes almost always double-teamed, engaged in a scrum in the middle of each play that often determines how well it works.And while the performance of the Miami Dolphins $114 million man can be difficult to assess, hes disinclined to help.I havent graded it, and probably wont until the end of the season, Suh said Tuesday. Its not important to make a grade midway through the year. Its about what you can do each and every week, and finding ways to help this team win.That he has done the past two games, as the Dolphins (3-4) come off their bye week and prepare to face the New York Jets.Coaches and teammates cite Suh as a big reason for the teams improvement.Suh has played well all year, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said. Hes doubled by a lineman every play, but he is disruptive in there, especially on pass downs. He can push the pocket. He can be special, but its tough to be special every play being doubled.With four-time Pro Bowler Suh leading the way, the defensive front -- which was expected to be the strength of the team -- has been better of late.The Dolphins still rank third-worst in the NFL against the run, and theyre tied for 18th in sacks. But in victories over the Steelers and Bills in the past two games, Miami was the more physical team on both defense and offense.Jay Ajayi topped 200 yards rushing in each game , which helped Miami control the ball. And the front four looked fresh even in the fourth quarter.We have the ability to make a lot of plays, Suh said. Thats what we want to go out there and do.Ends Cameron Wake and Mario Williams, four-time Pro Bowlers, made more big plays in the past two games, as did end Andre Branch.Credit Suh, Branch said.It makes it way easier, because hes the main focus of the offense, Branch said. He has been playing at a high level for a long, long time. Hes going to take up blocks, and as a D-line we just have to do our job, and well make the plays.Actually, there were doubts about the level of Suhs play last season, his first with Miami after he signed a six-year contract that was a record for a defensive player.The Dolphins won only six games and finished sixth-worst in rushing defense. For the first time since 2011, Suh failed to make the Pro Bowl.This season is trending in a more positive direction, and while Suh clogs things up in the middle, hes also making more big plays. He leads the team with 3+ sacks and nine quarterback hurries, and is tied for the lead with four tackles for a loss.Thats impressive for any position, and especially at tackle. Since Suh entered the NFL in 2010, hes second in sacks among tackles with 45+, behind only Geno Atkins 46+.Suh leads all tackles during that span with 45+ stuffs, which are tackles behind the line on rushing plays. And he has been durable, missing only two games in his career.Coach Adam Gase said Suhs game-to-game consistency has been unbelievable, and his productivity unique.It has been pretty consistent with what he has done over his career, Gase said. When you have a guy who plays the position he plays, and gets double- and triple-teamed as much as he does, and still somehow finds a way to get through, it says a lot about him.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

BOSTON -- New York Yankees starter Nathan Eovaldi was forced to leave Wednesdays game against the Boston Red Sox after just one inning because of right elbow discomfort, the team announced. Eovaldi is heading to New York for further tests.It is an ominous sign for Eovaldi, who missed the final month of last season because of elbow inflammation. Eovaldi had Tommy John surgery in high school.It is frustrating, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. It is concerning, but we really wont know anything until [Thursday] night.Eovaldis fastball did not top 94-95 mph, which was a sign that he could be injured. After pitching coach Larry Rothschild repeatedly asked him if he were healthy, Eovaldi finally admitted to feeling something in his elbow, Girardi said.Eovaldi, 26, has struggled all season and at one point was yannked from the teams rotation.dddddddddddd. He entered Wednesday with a 9-8 record and a 4.80 ERA. He is eligible for free agency following the 2017 season.In 2015, his first year with the Yankees, Eovaldi was 14-3 with a 4.20 ERA.The Yankees are Eovaldis third team in six seasons. He has twice been traded: The Los Angeles Dodgers sent him to the Marlins in the 2012 Hanley Ramirez trade, and the Marlins shipped him to the Bronx in a deal completed before the 2015 season.New York could replace Eovaldi in the rotation with either Chad Green or Luis Severino, who have both struggled in the majors this season. Severino was sent down before Wednesdays game after being shelled Tuesday. ' ' '
