Bour (finger) is back in the lineup Saturday, hitting fifth against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He made a pinch-hit appearance Friday after missing two games with the ailing finger, and is now back to regular duty at first base. Bour has been a little streaky so far this season, but the overall production has been there, and he should continue to hit directly behind Giancarlo Stanton for the Marlins.

Bour (finger) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Phillies, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Heraldreports.
EDGE Analysis
Bour was targeting a Friday return after he was cleared of serious injury by a hand specialist, but it seems the Marlins want to give him a little extra time to rest his dislocated pinky finger. That being said, he could return to the lineup sometime over the weekend. Chris Johnson will slot in at first base in his stead.

Bour (finger) was cleared of serious injury during Wednesday's visit with a hand specialist and is targeting a Friday return to the Marlins' lineup, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
X-rays came back negative on Bour's dislocated left pinkie which he injured diving into second base on Tuesday. All signs point to the slugger avoiding any time on the disabled list and Bour has expressed his hope to return to the lineup Friday. After struggling for much of April, Bour has picked up his game in the past week and sports a solid .276/.341/.461 slash line through 76 at-bats this season.

Bour (finger) is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bour dislocated his left pinky finger in Tuesday's contest and it appears that it hasn't healed enough to get him back into the lineup for Wednesday's matchup. He'll remain day-to-day with his next opportunity to return coming Thursday for the series finale against Arizona. Derek Dietrich will fill in for him at first base Wednesday.

Bour dislocated his left pinky while sliding into a base and is considered day-to-day, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bour didn't even start Tuesday's contest, entering the game in the eighth inning as a pinch hitter. Fortunately, he avoided a fracture that would likely cost him extended time. He will have a chance to return to the lineup as soon as Wednesday but would likely be replaced at first by either Chris Johnson or Derek Dietrich should he be unable to go.

Bour slugged pair of home runs and drove in five RBI during a 3-for-4 effort in Friday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The big lefty busted out of an early season slump in a huge way to help the Marlins take the series opening victory. Heading into the game, Bour was homerless through his first 63 at-bats while struggling to get much going at all at the dish. He reminded everyone how easy it is to quickly turn around your early season numbers, emerging from his monster game with a respectable .269/.324/.478 slash line.
