Robles was with Puerto Rico for the 2012 Haarlem Baseball Week. In the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games, he backed up Francisco Lindor at short, Kevin Fontanez at 2B and Gaby Martinez and Antonio Candelaria at first. He outhit Lindor in the event, going 4 for 9 with a double, walk, two runs and a RBI while handling six assists error-free.

He made his pro debut at age 34, hitting .138/.194/.172 in 17 games for the Santurce Crabbers and handled 49 chances error-free as a backup infielder. Moving to the Gigantes de Carolina the next winter, he improved to .308/.308/.333 in 15 games in his swan song, fielding .981 as their main shortstop.
