Bryson Stott will now be the everyday second baseman in 2023, with Trea Turner taking over the full-time shortstop duties. Harrison will be a great veteran bat to have behind Stott, especially with the Phillies now having a trustworthy option between a right-handed and left-handed bat.

Harrison was once a Phillie in 2019 but was cut ahead of the limited-roster finalizations going into 2020. Harrison never played a single major league game with the Phillies.
