They brought him in on a minor-league contract after 2019 and he was one of their final cuts out of summer camp seven months later just prior to the shortened 60-game season in 2020.
The 12-year vet has continued to play well as a starter and bench player since then, hitting .270/.332/.390 the last three years for a ballpark-adjusted OPS two percent better than the league average. He can still play all over the diamond -- second base, third base, some shortstop and corner outfield.
Harrison, 35, will be firmly in the mix for one of the Phillies' four bench spots. Backup catcher Garrett Stubbs and infielder Edmundo Sosa are locks, barring injury. That presumably leaves Harrison, Dalton Guthrie, Kody Clemens and Darick Hall to fight for three spots.
