Blue Jays trade 3B Josh Donaldson to Indians, sources say

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson has been traded to the Cleveland Indians after clearing waivers Friday, sources told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.

The trade was first reported by Yahoo! Sports.

The 2015 American League MVP has battled shoulder and calf injuries this season, and has not played for Toronto since May 28. In 36 games, he batted .234 with five home runs and 16 RBIs.

On Thursday, Donaldson homered in his first at-bat in the second game of his rehabilitation assignment for Class A Dunedin. He finished the night 1-for-3 after going 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI on Tuesday.
