Cut out the damage section of stud.

Replace with like material you now have.

Use new 2x studs on both side of the old stud that are closest in size to the older dimensional lumber running the new lumber sill to roof. Fasten both new studs to old stud and to outside 1x sheathing.

You will have created what amounts to be a "splint" to hold the broken stud in place.
