The 2022 Philadelphia Phillies season is the 140th season in the history of the franchise, and its 19th season at Citizens Bank Park. They will attempt to make the playoffs for the first time in eleven years.
On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, the MLB and MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day is scheduled for April 7.[1] Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.[2]
Offseason
Lockout
The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place.[3] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.[4][5]
The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.[6]
Rule changes
Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.[7][8]

Season notes
April
Because the 2021–22 MLB lockout delayed the beginning of the 2022 MLB season, the Phillies' Opening Day game against the Oakland Athletics took place on April 8.[28] Aaron Nola made his fifth consecutive Opening Day start, the longest such streak of any Phillies pitcher since Steve Carlton opened every season from 1977 to 1986.[29] Offseason acquisition Kyle Schwarber, batting in the leadoff position, hit a home run in his first at bat, while rookie Bryson Stott, making his MLB debut, recorded a hit in the sixth inning. Although Nola allowed a three-run home run in the seventh inning, the lineup continued to score, and the Phillies won 9–6 to start the season.[30] Kyle Gibson started the next game on April 9, earning the win as he struck out 10 batters for only the fourth time in his MLB career. Offensively, other free agent signee Nick Castellanos hit his first home run of the season in the first inning, and the Phillies sealed the win 4–2 following consecutive home runs from Rhys Hoskins and Jean Segura.[31] Philadelphia was unable to sweep the Athletics, however, as a lack of offensive power led to a 4–1 loss on April 10. The Phillies' one run came on a solo home run from Segura in the ninth inning.[32]
