Analysis:
The move will allow Pittsburgh to add Jung Ho Kang to the 40-man roster. Elmore, who was claimed off waivers, in November, hit .281 with 12 steals in Triple-A last season but played in only five major league games. He'll look to make a favorable impression during spring training in hopes of winning a spot on the Opening Day 40-man roster.
