Bour went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in a win over the Reds on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bour hit a fastball for a solo home run in the fifth inning and added a three-run shot in the eighth inning for his first mult-home run game of the season. Since coming back from Triple-A, Bour has four home runs in 24 plate appearances. Overall, Bour has a .190/.272/.430 slash line this season.

Bour went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 5-3 win over the Rays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bour homered for the second straight day since his recall from the minors, and he provided the Angels with a 4-0 lead with his opposite-field shot off Charlie Morton. He now has six homers on the season, and the Angels are hoping he can improve upon his .170/.267/.368 slash line.

Bour went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After an 18-game stint in the minors, Bour returned to the big leagues with a bang, launching a three-run shot to center field in the first inning. The blast would prove to be Bour's only hit of the game, and his pair of strikeouts suggest that he may not have eliminated his early-season struggles just yet. Though Bour has hit five homers in 102 at-bats, he has also whiffed 33 times and is batting a meager .167.

Bour was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake by the Angels on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bour was sent to Triple-A in mid-May after posting a .584 OPS through 30 games, but he's appeared to find his stroke in the minors with a .292/.400/.611 slash line. The 31-year-old will start at first base and bat fifth in his return to the majors.

Bour was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake after Tuesday's loss to the Twins, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour started just two of seven games since Shohei Ohtani (elbow) returned from the injured list, and his .163/.268/.316 slash line and lack of versatility provided little reason to keep him around as a pure bench option. Albert Pujols and Ohtani should continue to handle the everyday duties at first base and designated hitter for the Angels, respectively.

Bour is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels are opposing a left-handed starter (Ryan Carpenter) for the third straight day, relegating Bour to the bench once again. It's clear at this point that Shohei Ohtani and Albert Pujols will serve as the team's designated hitter and first baseman, respectively, versus left-handed pitching, but it's less certain if Bour will find himself in the large side of a platoon with Pujols now that Ohtani is back from the 10-day injured list. Bour has historically crushed right-handed pitching, but he's hitting just .153/.238/.306 (50 wRC+) in those matchups in 2019. Pujols, meanwhile, sports a .197/.297/.342 (77 wRC+) line versus righties.

Bour is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Bour will stick on the bench for a second consecutive game with another lefty in Matthew Boyd toeing the rubber for the Tigers. With southpaw Ryan Carpenter slated to start for Detroit on Thursday, Bour may be stuck on the bench until Friday. Albert Pujols is starting at first base and hitting fifth Wednesday.

Bour is not starting Tuesday against lefty Daniel Norris and the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Shohei Ohtani's (elbow) return from the injured list pushes Albert Pujols into a platoon with Bour at first base. Bour could get the majority of the starts as the lefty in that pairing, but with three straight southpaws on tap this series, he may be stuck on the bench until Friday.

Bour is not starting Saturday against southpaw Wade Miley and the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Bour has only started twice against a lefty this season. Albert Pujols will be the first baseman Saturday, with Jonathan Lucroy serving as the designated hitter.

Bour is batting eighth in the lineup Sunday against the Royals, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour has served primarily as the number three hitter for the Angels this season, but has struggled at the dish. Through 84 plate appearances he has hit just .176/.274/.297 with two home runs. Brian Goodwin gets bumped up to third in the lineup in his place.
