The MRI on Bour's ankle came back negative, MLB.com reports, but the team decided to place him on the 15-day disabled list rather than allow him to play through the injury.
With the All-Star break right around the corner the Marlins are taking an understandably conservative route with their emerging slugger, giving him an extended break to get back to full strength. Bour started the year slowly but is now up to 15 home runs and 46 RBI to go along with a .268/.347/.526 slash line over 213 at-bats. He's eligible to return to the active roster on July 18. Platoon-mate Chris Johnson and recently recalled Don Kelly should get most of the playing time at first base while Bour is sidelined.
