Actually, it does specify. In the case of an injury (or even ejection - that surprised me), the batter is simply skipped in the lineup the next time around (no automatic out). In the case where the injured player is on a base - the defensive coach selects a player from the dugout to run for her.
I'm not talking about the next time at bat but the current at-bat. The other situation works fine in a normal situation when a continuous batting order is not used. What happens if the defensive coach selects the player on deck to run because she is the slowest?
