On February 29, 2020, Overton signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and was assigned to the Double–A New Hampshire Fisher Cats.[11] Overton did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[12] He became a free agent on November 2, 2020.[13] Overton re–signed with the Blue Jays on a minor league contract on February 2, 2021.[2] He was assigned to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons to begin the year, where he pitched to a 2.03 ERA with 50 strikeouts in 21 appearances.

In doing so, Overton made MLB history, having the most career innings without allowing a run, with 10+23 innings pitched.[17] His streak ended at 13+23 innings after he allowed a home run to Didi Gregorius of the Philadelphia Phillies on September 23. Overton was shut down for the season on September 28 after he was placed on the injured list with a right shoulder strain.[18] He finished the season with a combined 4.70 ERA in 9 appearances between the Blue Jays and Pirates, striking out 15 in 15+13 innings of work.

On April 30, 2022, Overton was selected to the active roster to start against the Colorado Rockies.[22] On May 12, Overton earned his first career win, tossing 6+13 scoreless innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates.[23] On May 23, an MRI revealed Overton had a stress reaction in his lower back[24] and he was placed on the 60-day injured list.[25] Overton was activated from the injured list on September 24.[26] He started four games for the Reds, finishing with a 1–0 record and 2.73 ERA with 14 strikeouts over 33 innings.[27]

Overton began the 2023 season out of Cincinnati's rotation, making 3 starts for the team. On April 15, 2023, Overton was placed on the injured list with a right elbow strain. The injury was suffered in a start against the Philadelphia Phillies in which he allowed 5 earned runs over 3 innings pitched.[28] On May 7, manager David Bell said that Overton would be out until at least mid-July,[29] and Overton was transferred to the 60-day injured list on May 14.[30] He underwent Tommy John surgery on May 23, officially ending his season.[31] On October 9, Overton was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to Triple–A Louisville.[32] On November 6, 2024, he elected free agency.[33]
