Bour is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

Analysis:

With the Marlins facing southpaw Jeff Locke, Bour is out of the lineup for the first time since Wednesday, which also marks the date of Michael Morse's last start. Morse (finger) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, ensuring that Bour will get regular playing time -- at least against right-handed pitchers -- for the next couple of weeks. Given his success thus far, Bour could lock down that role for the rest of the season, and he might eventually even work his way out of a platoon. To date, just four of his 52 at-bats have come against lefties.
