2025 NFC West RB duo rankings
Not much has changed since last season. The only difference from the start of last season is that the 49ers now have Isaac Guerendo as the primary backup running back instead of Elijah Mitchell or Jordan Mason.

NFL RB duo rankings: NFC West
1. 49ers: Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo
Based on our starting running back and backup running back rankings, this makes sense. McCaffrey is the top starting back in the division, assuming he has recovered fully from last season's injuries. Guerendo is the top backup, too. With the top starter and top backup, combined with probably the best running scheme in the league, this makes sense.
2. Cardinals: James Conner, Trey Benson
Conner was third in the starting RB rankings we did behind the Rams' Kyren Williams, but it wasn't by much. He is been a more dynamic and efficient runner than Williams but not as productive. Benson is No. 3 in backups but has starter potential and his production late in the season gives the Cardinals a pairing very similar to the Niners.

3. Seahawks: Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet
Walker was the lowest-ranked starter but Charbonnet was No. 2 as a backup. Both are productive in the run game and passing game.
4. Rams: Kyren Williams, Blake Corum
Williams had nearly 1,300 yards and rushed for 14 scores but Corum had the lowest rushing production and per-carry average of all the backups. The Rams' rushing attack was more workhorse than explosive.

White Sox put 1B Ryan Noda on injured list with right quad strain
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox placed first baseman Ryan Noda on the 10-day injured list Monday with a strained right quadriceps and recalled infielder Tristan Gray from Triple-A Charlotte. Noda has just three hits in 34 at-bats with Chicago, his fourth organization in nine months. The 29-year-old was claimed off waivers in June from the Boston Red Sox, who had acquired him in a May trade with the Los Angeles Angels. Noda played for the Triple-A affiliates of the Red Sox and Angels before getting in 16 games with the White Sox in his only major league action this season. Noda was the primary first baseman in 2023 for the Oakland Athletics, producing 16 home runs and 54 RBIs with a .770 OPS in 128 games. The White Sox also said center fielder Luis Robert Jr. will not need an injury rehab assignment and is close to a return from his strained left hamstring. Robert has been sidelined for 10 games, including Monday night against Toronto. He should be back in the lineup this week. ___ AP MLB:

Paolo Banchero, Orlando Magic agree to 5-year, $239 million max contract extension: Source
The Orlando Magic and forward Paolo Banchero have agreed to a five-year, maximum-salary contract extension worth approximately $239 million that, once signed, will be the most expensive contract in franchise history, a league source confirmed to The Athletic. The contract extension will begin with the 2026-27 season and will run through the 2030-31 season, including a player option for the final season of the deal, The Athletic has learned from a league source. Advertisement Banchero, who will turn 23 in November, would receive higher annual salaries that would bring the total value of the contract to approximately $287 million if he wins NBA MVP, the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award or is named to the All-NBA First Team, Second Team or Third Team during the upcoming 2025-26 season. Banchero has established himself as the Magic's centerpiece player since the team drafted him with the first pick in 2022 after his freshman year at Duke. He opened last season as a potential All-NBA candidate before he suffered a torn oblique muscle in the Magic's fifth game, an injury that forced him to miss 34 consecutive games. He finished the season averaging 25.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game and averaged 29.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game during the Magic's first-round series defeat to the Boston Celtics. Banchero joined LeBron James and Luka Dončić as the only players 22 years old or younger in NBA history to compile at least 4,000 points, 1,300 rebounds and 900 assists during their first three NBA seasons. Magic officials expect their team to contend in the Eastern Conference in upcoming seasons, with 23-year-old Franz Wagner, 24-year-old Jalen Suggs and newly acquired 27-year-old Desmond Bane all under contract at least through the 2028-29 season. However, the team's contractual control of its promising nucleus comes at a hefty price — a price that will force the Magic's decision-makers to tread carefully to avoid the NBA's punitive first and second aprons in the seasons ahead. No matter how skillfully the Magic manage their cap sheet, team officials will find it difficult to build out their roster and maintain roster balance because of the aprons. That's the downside of having four highly paid players, two of whom will be on max-salary deals. Advertisement The 2025-26 season will be the first season of new contracts for Wagner and Suggs. Wagner's deal will average approximately $45.0 million over the next five seasons, while Suggs' deal will average $30.1 million over the next five seasons. Bane is due an average of $40.8 million per season over the next four seasons. Wagner's and Suggs' contracts run through the 2029-30 season, which also will be the fourth year of Banchero's new deal. If Banchero declines his option for the 2030-31 season, Banchero, Wagner and Suggs would be on schedule to hit free agency at the same time. Banchero also could be eligible for an annual salary at 35 percent of the league salary cap. It is possible that Banchero could sign the contract extension as early as Monday night.

Dodgers announce pitcher Tyler Glasnow will start Wednesday. utilityman Enrique Hernández to 10-day IL
Pitcher Tyler Glasnow will return to the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting rotation on Wednesday, manager Dave Roberts announced before Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers. Dustin May, who was originally scheduled to pitch on Wednesday, will now start on Friday at the San Francisco Giants. Advertisement Glasnow, who will turn 32 on Aug. 23, has been on the IL since April 28 with right shoulder inflammation. He left his previous start before the second inning after feeling discomfort while warming up. The right-hander was later moved to the 60-day IL as his recovery timetable was pushed back. He finished his third minor-league rehab start on Thursday, throwing 78 pitches in 4 1/3 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City and encountered no setbacks. In five starts this season, Glasnow compiled a 4.50 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 11 walks in 18 innings. He made 22 starts last season, a career high, pitching 134 innings. In 2023, Glasnow made 21 starts (with 120 innings pitched) with the Tampa Bay Rays. Advertisement Glasnow had never made more than 14 starts in his eight seasons prior to that. But he did make 45 appearances in 2018. He had Tommy John surgery in 2021. Enrique Hernández placed on 10-day injured list Utilityman Enrique Hernández was placed on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation as part of a series of moves the team announced on Monday. Hernández, 33, is not having a good offensive season, batting .195/.259/.367 with five doubles, eight home runs and 22 RBI in 186 plate appearances. However, he's been a valuable player in the nine total seasons that he's played for the Dodgers (three seasons in his most recent stint) because of his positional versatility. Advertisement In the 71 games he's played this year, Hernández has appeared at first base (26 games), left field (20), second base (18), third base (10) and center field (seven). He has even pitched in five games this season. However, Hernández has taken the mound in blowouts to preserve bullpen arms, rather than display the two-way talent of Shohei Ohtani. In 5 1/3 innings, he has allowed nine runs, 11 hits and eight walks with one strikeout. Hernández has been dealing with the discomfort in his left, non-throwing elbow for approximately a month, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. That could be a factor in his poor hitting this season. Advertisement Outfielder James Outman was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Hernández's place on the active roster. In his previous major-league stints this season, Outman has batted .125/.222/.375 with two home runs and four RBI in nine games. However, in 333 plate appearances at Triple-A, he's hit .289 with a 970 OPS, 20 doubles, 20 homers, 74 RBI and 14 stolen bases. Additionally, the Dodgers are calling up right-handed reliever Julian Fernández, who has 32 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings with a 4.08 ERA. Left-hander Justin Wrobleski was sent down to Oklahoma City. In eight games (two starts), he compiled a 4.08 ERA with 40 strikeouts in 40 innings. Infielder CJ Alexander was also designated for assignment, four days after claiming him off waivers from the New York Yankees.
