With the lockout over, the Phillies return to Clearwater.
Players are already arriving ahead of the mandatory reporting date on Sunday, and MLB released the revised spring schedule Friday afternoon.
The new Grapefruit League schedule will vary by region. West Coast Florida clubs will play at least 17 games over 21 days between each other, and East Coast teams will play at least 15 on their side of the state.
The Phillies will play 19 exhibition games before Opening Day on April 7. Their first spring game is scheduled for Friday, March 18 in Detroit at Lakeland.
