Robinson will be a non-roster invitee to major league spring training camp, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson had a full season of minor league ball in 2024, his first after missing significant development time from 2020 to 2023 due to COVID-19 and visa issues stemming from a police incident. Prior to that, the 24-year-old right-handed hitting outfielder was Arizona's top prospect. Robinson hit .213/.337/.343 with 10 home runs, 41 RBI and stole 10 bases for Double-A Amarillo last year. He also spent time in the Arizona Fall League, compiling an .854 OPS with nine steals over 19 games.

Robinson (shoulder) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list by Double-A Amarillo on Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old suffered a right shoulder sprain during spring training but is now ready to make his 2024 debut with Amarillo. Robinson had a brief stint with the affiliate to close last season but spent most of the campaign at Single-A Visalia, where he had a .945 OPS in 43 games.

Diamondbacks farm director Shaun Larkin said Wednesday that Robinson won't be available for the start of the minor-league season after he suffered a sprained right shoulder following a collision with the outfield wall, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. "He's close to getting back," Larkin said. "He's getting better day by day."

EDGE Analysis

Larkin relayed that Robinson sustained the injury prior to the Diamondbacks' Spring Breakout game against the Rockies on March 16. Robinson doesn't sound like he's been shut down from baseball activities, so he could be available to make his season debut at some point in April. Once healthy, he'll likely to head back to Double-A Amarillo, with whom he played five games last season following lengthier stops at Single-A Visalia and High-A Hillsboro.

Robinson was assigned to minor-league camp Thursday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson went 2-for-10 with a home run, three RBI and four walks while fanning five times. This is the first spring training since 2020 for Robinson, who dealt with legal and visa issues in between. An elevated strikeout rate after returning to action last May was the one blemish on his 2023 record. Robinson posted a .914 OPS and stole 23 bases in 65 combined games across four stops in the minors.

Robinson started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Monday's spring game against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson clocked a no-doubter for his first home run in big-league camp. A highly rated prospect prior to the pandemic, Robinson returned to affiliated ball in 2023 following legal and visa issues that put a crimp in his development. Given the layoff from 2020 to 2022, he did well for himself, including a .914 OPS and 23 steals across four stops. The issue that lingers is Robinson's hit tool. What was already an elevated strikeout rate crept above 30 percent over his stints at Single-A, High-A and Double-A last season.

The Diamondbacks designated Robinson for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona selected Buddy Kennedy from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, so Robinson was cast off the 40-man roster to clear space for Kennedy. The 22-year-old outfielder has slashed .272/.387/.437 through 181 plate appearances between Single-A and High-A and still has a long way to go before being major-league ready.

Robinson is 2-for-12 with one home run, two steals and five strikeouts in his first three games for High-A Hillsboro.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson had a .274/.394/.436 slash line with four home runs, 16 steals and a 31 percent strikeout rate in 32 games for Single-A Visalia. He split time between right field and left field while at Single-A and has already started once in all three outfield spots at High-A. Robinson is 22 and only has two minor-league option years remaining, so the Diamondbacks will push him quickly if he performs well.

Robinson is 8-for-26 (.308) with a double, home run, two BRI, three runs and four steals through six games at Single-A Visalia.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old Robinson is playing organized baseball again after missing the last three-and-a-half years due to legal issues. He was a top 100 prospect back in 2019, and the Diamondbacks believe the pieces are still there, according to Sam Dykstra of MLB.com. Specifically, those pieces are raw power, above-average speed and a strong arm.

Arizona reinstated Robinson (hamstring) from the restricted list Monday and optioned him to Single-A Visalia.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson hasn't played in affiliated ball since 2019 after pleading guilty in August 2021 to assaulting a law officer in April 2020. He recently completed an 18-month probationary period without incident and has also apparently recovered from a recent hamstring injury that prompted the Diamondbacks to delay his activation a few weeks. Robinson had been viewed as a top-100 prospect in the past and is still just 22 years old, but he'll need to re-establish himself in the lower minors in light of the extensive time he missed over the last few seasons.

Robinson, whom the Diamondbacks reinstated from the restricted list Monday after he secured a work visa that makes him eligible to play in games, is expected to remain at the organization's extended spring training camp for a little while longer after he recently picked up a hamstring injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. "He is just about back to full go," farm director Josh Barfield said. "We want to make sure that he is in a good spot going out and feeling good. I would imagine it won't be too long before he is out."

EDGE Analysis

Getting approval for the work visa was the final hurdle Robinson needed to clear to resume his professional career after he hadn't appeared in an official game since the 2019 season following his guilty plea to felony assault charges stemming from an April 2020 incident involving a law enforcement officer. With his charges since downgraded to a misdemeanor after he completed an 18-month probation sentence, Robinson, who has been able to participate in games on the back fields of Diamondbacks camp, now looks to be on the cusp of joining an affiliate once he's back to full speed. Though Robinson is now off the restricted list, the Diamondbacks still have to eventually clear a spot for him on the 40-man roster and will have 30 days to do so. The 22-year-old outfielder is expected to report to Single-A Visalia when the hamstring injury is fully behind him.
