The Chicago Cubs made a roster move with an eye toward the postseason on Wednesday, acquiring pinch-running specialist Terrance Gore from the Kansas City Royals.

Gore, who has zero career hits in 14 career plate appearances, has 21 career stolen bases on 25 attempts, and figures to make the Cubs’ roster when it expands to 40 players on September 1.
