Bour went 3-for-5 with a homer, three RBI and two runs in Friday's win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Bour has been on a tear as of late, mashing eight homers and driving in 27 runs over the past month. Though patience remains a weakness, he has managed a dismal 7.7% BB rate this season, Bour may be worth a spot in the lineup simply as a means to tap into that power. Since the All-Star break, Bour ranks among the top 10 first basemen in the league in homers and RBI.

Bour had three hits and drove home a run in four trips to the plate during Saturday's loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Bour has gotten an extended chance to prove that he belongs at the top of Miami's first base depth chart heading into 2016 and the 27-year-old has responded well. He's piled up a .264/.327/.458 slash line with 18 home runs and 62 RBI over 116 games. He's notably struggled against left-handed pitching, but Bour's .487 SLG against right-handers should be enough to, at least, keep him in a platoon role next season.

Bour went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-4 win over Washington on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bour is in the midst of a nice three-game stretch in which he has two homers and seven RBI. The next big step for Bour is to find success against southpaws, as all of his homers and 49 of his 61 RBI have come off righties this season. If he can find his way into the lineup everyday, Bour could finally become mixed league relevant with his nice power-stroke.

Bour hit a solo Homer as a pinch-hitter Sunday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Bour's 16th homer tied the game in the eighth inning of a game the Marlins would eventually win. He's found his power stroke lately, as he's now homered four times over his last eight games.

Bour is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bour continues to see most of the starts at first base, but will receive an off day Sunday with the left-handed Steven Matz on the mound for the Mets. Casey McGehee will receive the start in his place, batting fifth for the Marlins.

Bour went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in a 4-0 victory over the Braves on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bour has now hit safely in his last three games and five of his last seven contests. The 27-year-old has received a progressively greater amount of playing time in each successive month of the 2015 campaign, culminating in a 91 at-bat August where he posted six multi-hit performances. Bour has struggled at times this season with consistency at the plate, but the first baseman has served as one of the few sources of power for the Marlins during the extended absence of Giancarlo Stanton.

Bour hit a three-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second homer in as many days for Bour, who should continue to stick as the Marlins cleanup hitter until Giancarlo Stanton (wrist) returns from the DL, likely on Friday. For fantasy purposes, Bour remains best optimized during slates in which the Marlins face right-handed heavy pitching. He's hit all 14 of his homers and 12 of his 14 doubles against righties this season.

Bour went 1-for-4 Saturday with a solo shot, his 13th home run of the season.
EDGE Analysis
He's slashing just .225/.285/.342 with three home runs in 120 at-bats since the All-Star break, and Bour is looking less and less like a potential long-term solution at first base for the Marlins.

Bour went 3-for-4 Sunday, hitting two doubles, driving in three RBI and scoring a run in an 8-1 win over the Reds. The 27-year-old first baseman has struggled a bit as of late, going 7-for-27 (including Sunday's performance) since July 5th. Even with his recent stretch of poor play, it seems Bour will continue to have plenty of opportunities at first base, with back-up Mike Morse finding time in left field in three of the last six contests as the Marlins search for a replacement for the injured Giancarlo Stanton (wrist).

Bour is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs. Bour came into Saturday with a five-game hit streak but the Marlins are facing lefty Clayton Richard so Jeff Baker will take over duties at first base and bat fourth. With right-handed pitcher Kyle Hendricks expected to start Sunday for the Cubs, Bour will likely regain his spot in the lineup per usual.
