After missing all of 2020 and 2021, Robbins made his return to game action where he pitched at three different levels (Single-A, High-A, Double-A). Between the three levels, he had a 2.59 ERA, including a 1.52 ERA in 23.2 innings pitched in New Hampshire. Moreover, he had a 30.2 K% and a 9.9 BB% overall.

This season hasn’t gone as good for the 25-year-old starter, as the start of the season was rough. Robbins repeated Double-A, where he posted a 4.71 ERA and a 4.52 FIP in 80.1 innings pitched, along with a 21.6 K% and a 13.7 BB%. The lefty returned to form before a call-up to the Bisons, posting a 3.64 ERA and a 3.93 FIP, along with a 20.9 K% and a 12.1 BB% in 42 innings between June 3rd and July 30th.
