The 29-year-old has six home runs, 18 RBIs and a .212 batting average this season.
In return, Toronto received infielder Cutter Coffey, infielder Eddinson Paulino and right-handed pitcher Gilberto Batista.
The Blue Jays have been active with Tuesday's MLB trade deadline approaching.
Toronto traded reliever Nate Pearson to the Chicago Cubs for two prospects earlier Saturday, a day after shipping reliever Yimi Garcia to the Seattle Mariners.
