MTD, Sr.,
Both the DH and the player for whom he is batting are locked into the same spot in the batting order.
In your sitch, the HT has no eligible substitute for the injured player and must continue with 8. An out is recorded each time the injured player's "slot" comes to bat.
The only "exception" to this is if the player is injured during an at bat in which he reaches base safely. Then, if there are no eligible subs available, the player with the "last batted out" may pinch run for the injured player.
