Bour is Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register Friday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Bour is hitting jut .188/.291/.319 on the season. Mike Trout will be the designated hitter Friday, pushing Albert Pujols to first base.

Bour is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Bour was able to hit his second home run of the year Tuesday, a grand slam off of Chad Green, but will head to the bench against lefty CC Sabathia. Bour has appeared in the lineup twice against lefties this season and should continue to have days-off against southpaws going forward. Albert Pujols will get the start at first and hit cleanup while Kevan Smith will check into the lineup as the designated hitter.

Bour went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

His eighth-inning blast off Chad Green made things interesting, but the Angels couldn't complete the comeback even with Aroldis Chapman getting the night off. Bour has had a rough start to his Angels tenure, slashing .203/.311/.344 with only two homers and 10 RBI in 19 games.

Bour is not in the lineup Monday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

As per usual, Bour will take a seat with a southpaw (J.A. Happ) toeing the rubber for the opposition. In his place, Albert Pujols will start at first base while Kevan Smith gets the nod at DH.

Bour is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels will withhold three of their lefty-hitting regulars (Bour, Tommy La Stella and Kole Calhoun) from the starting nine with southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on the mound. Albert Pujols will man first base Saturday while Kevan Smith checks into the lineup as the Angels' designated hitter.

Bour is out of Thursday's lineup against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Bour has recorded a base hit in each of his past six games, but he'll take a seat for the series opener. With Mike Trout remaining in the designated hitter slot, Albert Pujols will slot in at first base and is slated to bat cleanup.

Bour is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

With lefty Mike Minor on the bump for Texas, the lefty-swinging Bour finds himself on the bench for the second straight day. With a .171/.275/.286 line against right-handed pitching this season, Bour isn't exactly capitalizing on the platoon advantage, so he may first need to find more success in those matchups before getting increased exposure to lefties.

Bour is not in the lineup Monday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Mike Trout returns from a groin strain, but only as a designated hitter, pushing Albert Pujols to first base. Bour is hitting just .186 on the season but has a hit in five straight contests.

Bour is not in the lineup Friday against the Cubs, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the game in a National League Park, regular designated hitter Albert Pujols will take Bour's usual spot at first base. Bour will likely start at least one of the games over the weekend.

Bour went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman is still only slashing .154/.313/.256 through 11 games, but he's hit safely in four straight while collecting his only homer and four of his five RBI. Bour hit third with Mike Trout (groin) sidelined, which speaks as much to the sketchy nature of the lineup around the superstar as it does Bour's own skills, but the 30-year-old should continue to fill a prime spot in the batting order and get plenty of chances to heat up even after Trout is back in action.
