Bour (oblique) was activated from the DL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bour has been out since July 24, but is ready to return to action following his lengthy absence. Prior to getting hurt, Bour had been in the midst of a great season. Over 87 games he's hitting .289/.366/.548 with 21 home runs and 63 RBI. Now that he's back in full health, he should return to his regular spot at first base in the Marlins' lineup.

Bour (oblique) is a candidate to rejoin the Marlins as early as Friday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour has been on the DL since July 25 due to an oblique strain, but recently began a rehab assignment with High-A Jacksonville. He's since played three games for the Jumbo Shrimp, going a combined 3-for-9 at the plate. Bour even homered in the Double-A playoffs Sunday, and intends to be back in the lineup Thursday. Should he play a full nine innings without issue, a Friday activation is possible, though it should occur at some point in the four-game series in Atlanta regardless.

Bour (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour has been sidelined since July 24 with the oblique injury, so the Marlins would likely want him to appear in multiple games with Jacksonville before feeling comfortable with activating him from the 10-day disabled list, perhaps as soon as next week. With a .289 average and 21 home runs in 339 plate appearances prior to hitting the DL, Bour's likely return in September would provide a jolt to the Marlins' fading playoff hopes, as the team has sorely missed his power production at first base. Neither Tomas Telis nor Tyler Moore have been able to consistently give the Marlins competitive at-bats at the position since Bour was shut down with the injury.

Bour (oblique) took a few swings in batting practice before Monday's game, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins are running out of time to send Bour on a minor-league rehab assignment, but with Double-A Jacksonville leading the Southern League's South division and likely headed for the playoffs beginning next Wednesday, the organization could have the first baseman join them for their postseason before being activated from the DL. Bour was enjoying a career year before getting hurt in late July, posting a .914 OPS through 87 games and sitting two homers shy of his personal best.

Bour (oblique) will resume baseball activities this week, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has been on the DL since July 25 with a strain of his right oblique, and it will be interesting to see if the Marlins push Bour back into action prior to the expansion of rosters on September 1. Tomas Telis and Tyler Moore will continue to handle the bulk of the starts at first base in Bour's absence.

Bour (oblique) is still at least three weeks away from resuming baseball activities, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oblique strains do tend to take a while to heal, so it's not too surprising to hear that the Marlins are taking the cautious approach with their slugging first baseman. Considering this timeline and how far out of a playoff spot the team is, there is speculation that Bour could be held out for the remainder of the season, although no official word has come forth on that front. Tyler Moore and Tomas Telis should continue to plug the hole at first base while he's out of commission.

Bour was placed on the 10-day DL on Tuesday with a right oblique strain, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is unclear how much time the Marlins' slugger will miss with the injury, but he will likely be out until at least mid-August. Mike Aviles' contract was selected from Triple-A as a corresponding move, but Tyler Moore is expected to see the bulk of the starts at first base while Bour is sidelined.

Manager Don Mattingly reported Monday that Bour (oblique) will likely soon be placed on the 10-day disabled list, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bour exited Monday's contest with a strained right oblique. It's currently unclear as to exactly how much time he'll miss, but the slugging first baseman will be sidelined for at least the next 10 days, if not more. Tyler Moore projects to fill in at first base in his absence. An official announcement with regards to Bour's condition will likely be announced Tuesday.

Bour exited Monday's game against the Rangers with a right oblique strain.

EDGE Analysis

Bour opened the game as the Marlins' designated hitter but was lifted from the contest after grounding into a double play during his first at-bat. An oblique strain typically results in a trip to the disabled list, but the team is listing their power-hitting first baseman as day-to-day for the time being.

Bour went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Monday's win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

The slugger continues to provide high-end power numbers for fantasy owners and is also in the midst of a breakout campaign. Bour is up to 21 bombs, 62 RBI and 37 runs with a .286/.364/.558 slash line, and he's positioned to continue producing solid numbers hitting in the heart of Miami's lineup.
