TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired outfielder Daulton Varsho from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and catcher Gabriel Moreno.

Varsho hit 27 homers and drove in 74 runs for the Diamondbacks last season.

He gives the Blue Jays a much-needed power bat from the left side.

Gurriel spent five seasons with Toronto. He hit five homers and drove in 52 runs last season.
