Bour is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour started the first three games of the season at first base, where he went 1-for-13 at the plate, but will take a seat with tough southpaw Jose Quintana on the hill for the opposing Cubs. Garrett Cooper will be called upon to man first base in his stead.

Bour (back) will bat cleanup and play first base against the Mets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bour has been dealing with back spasms for the past few days and was withheld from Tuesday's lineup for precautionary reasons. Barring any setback, the first baseman should be fully operational by the time the regular season rolls around.

Bour (back) is in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with back spasms, which he has been dealing with for a few days. If he's able to successfully return on Wednesday there will be little reason to believe that the issue will have any effect on him by the start of the regular season.

Bour (back) was scratched from the Marlins' lineup for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour experienced back spasms following Friday's game against the Red Sox and will get a fourth consecutive day off to rest up and recover. The Marlins haven't indicated that the injury is anything that will jeopardize Bour's availability for Opening Day, so his scratch looks precautionary more than anything else. Bour is slated to fill an everyday role and bat in the heart of the order for a new-look Miami lineup that bid adieu to its entire starting outfield (Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna) this offseason in addition to table setter Dee Gordon.

Bour (back) is starting at first base and batting fourth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Marc Carig of The Athletic New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour was scratched from Saturday's contest due to back spasms, but the first baseman is set to re-enter the action after a day off. He'll look to carry over his career-best performance from 2017 into the new season.

Bour was scratched from Saturday's spring game due to back spasms, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour should be considered day-to-day at this time. The Marlins didn't release any additional information regarding his status and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the team hold him out for a couple days in order to make sure he's at full health before being inserted back into the lineup.

Bour will make $3.4 million in 2018 after winning his arbitration case, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins came in at $3 million, but will be required to pay a little more for Bour's services during this upcoming season. In 2017, the first baseman slashed .289/.366/.536 with career bests in home runs (25), RBI (83) and hits (109) while playing in 108 games. The biggest concern for the 29-year-old will be getting opportunities to drive in baserunners for a fully-fledged rebuilding organization in 2018.

Bour went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a pair of walks against the Mets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He's now homered in consecutive games, although this outing broke up his streak of four consecutive two-hit efforts. Bour has regained his form quickly after coming off the DL and is poised to be a strong fantasy asset over the season's final week-plus.

Bour went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in Tuesday's 10-inning win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

After opening the season by hitting 21 homers in his first 81 games, Bour cooled off briefly and then got injured shortly after the All-Star break; he spent a lengthy stretch on the DL before returning earlier this month. Over his first nine games back in the lineup, the 29-year-old hit .355 with an .873 OPS, but Tuesday's long ball marks his first since returning to health. He's in position to put together a strong season-ending run.

Bour is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Four went 1-for-3 in his return from the disabled list Friday, but he'll head to the bench for Saturday's contest as the Marlins ease him back into action. J.T. Realmuto will cover first base in his stead, with A.J. Ellis stepping in behind the dish.
