The Washington Nationals have acquired right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson from the Toronto Blue Jays, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Toronto gets 23-year-old right-handed pitching prospect Kyle Johnston in return. He is 9-9 with a 4.03 ERA in 20 starts at the Class A level this season.

Hudson, 32, was seen leaving the Blue Jays bullpen and hugging teammates before heading to the clubhouse during Wednesday's game in Kansas City.

He is 6-3 this season with 2 saves, 48 strikeouts and a 3.00 ERA, which is his lowest mark since posting a 2.45 ERA across 95 1/3 innings in 2010.
