Phillies finalize Opening Day roster

The Phillies have finalized their Opening Day roster for the 2022 regular season. The 28-man roster includes 11 former All-Stars who have collectively earned 21 selections to the Midsummer Classic. Additionally, 12 of the 28 players have appeared in the postseason (139 combined postseason games).

The Opening Day roster includes 15 pitchers (six left-handers and nine right-handers), two catchers, six infielders and five outfielders. Of the 28 Phillies, seven have made their first career Opening Day roster.

Pitchers (15): Left-handers – José Alvarado, Bailey Falter, Brad Hand, Damon Jones, Cristopher Sánchez and Ranger Suárez. Right-handers – Connor Brogdon, Seranthony Domínguez, Zach Eflin, Jeurys Familia, Kyle Gibson, Corey Knebel, Nick Nelson, Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler.

Catchers (2): J.T. Realmuto and Garrett Stubbs.

Infielders (6): Alec Bohm, Johan Camargo, Didi Gregorius, Rhys Hoskins, Jean Segura and Bryson Stott.

Outfielders (5): Nick Castellanos, Bryce Harper, Mickey Moniak, Kyle Schwarber and Matt Vierling

The Phillies have selected the contract of infielder Bryson Stott, the 2021 winner of the Paul Owens Award, which is given to the organization’s top minor league player. Stott will wear No. 5. To make room on the 40-man roster for Stott, the club recalled catcher Rafael Marchán and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

In addition, the Phillies have placed right-hander Sam Coonrod (right shoulder strain), outfielder Odúbel Herrera (right oblique strain) and left-hander Ryan Sherriff (left shoulder strain) on the 10-day injured list, all retroactive to April 4. Left-handers Kent Emanuel (left elbow impingement) and JoJo Romero (recovering from Tommy John surgery) remain on the 60-day injured list.

The club also placed right-hander James Norwood, who was recently acquired from the San Diego Padres, on the bereavement list.
