It's the same as if the replacement batter got a hit or grounded out. The scoring goes to the replacement players stats... good or bad.
Specific notes need to be added to the score book on when the sub entered and the count he entered with.

I believe there is a rule about substitute batters coming in with 2 strikes against them...I don't think his stats are hurt by the one-strike out. One of these other guys can find the rule.
There is and I forgot to mention that part. I was just going by the count and situation given above.
The new batter would assume the previous batter's count. The new batter would get credit for the at bat and whatever the outcome was with one exception. If the new batter assumed a count with 2 strikes and then struck out, the previous batter would get the AB and be credited with the strikeout.

I guess I read the OP wrong. I thought the count was 2 strikes after the injury causing swing.
10.15 (b) When a batter leaves the game with two strikes against him, and the substitute batter completes a strikeout, the official scorer shall charge the strikeout and the time at bat to the first batter. If the substitute batter completes the turn at bat in any other manner, including a base on balls, the official scorer shall score the action as having been that of the substitute batter.
