Marlins' Justin Bour: Making progress towards rehab assignment

Bour (ankle), who has been taking batting practice and running the bases, is expected to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with High-A Jupiter, MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Bour hit the disabled list on July 6 with a sprained right ankle and continues to make progress towards a return, though he admits that he's still getting comfortable running the bases and playing in the field. He posted a solid .268/.347/.526 line with 15 home runs and 46 RBI over 213 at-bats before going down and should return to the Marlins starting lineup after getting in a handful of rehab games.
