He previously was pitching coach for the Reds (2010-13), Diamondbacks (2006-09) and Mariners (2000-05).
Price replaces Chris Young, who was fired along with manager Gabe Kapler. The Phillies retained several coaches from Kapler's staff before hiring Girardi last week.
The team still has a vacancy for hitting coach after parting with John Mallee.
