Analysis: Victor Victor Mesa injures hamstring

BY ANDREW WRIGHT

In the story from the New York Times, Marlins Rookie Victor Victor Mesa Appears to Hurt Hamstring, the author covers the breaking injury report on one of the Florida Marlins up-and-coming players.

When the article was first published, there was a lot of speculation in the article since the facts of Mesa's injury were not completely known. All that was reported in the beginning of the story was Mesa appeared to injure his right hamstring as he grabbed onto his leg after attempting to run to first base before being called out.

As the story developed, more facts were reported on the specifics on the injury and the timetable for Mesa's return. The author confirmed that Mesa appeared to injure his right hamstring, and that the team was classifying the injury as a right hamstring strain. the author also updated the story by saying that Mesa would be undergoing further tests Monday to confirm the injury and begin healing the hamstring. Once Mesa undergoes additional testing Monday, the story will be updated with a definitive classification of Mesa's injury and the speculated time Mesa will miss due to the injury.
