Giancarlo Stanton is scheduled to have stitches removed from his right knee Monday.

It's the first step in his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery. The timetable for Stanton's return hasn't changed, and remains four to six weeks. The Marlins activated Emilio Bonifacio to take his spot on the active roster, while Justin Ruggiano is replacing him right field.
