Lemma 19.8.2. For any $\mathcal{O}$-module $\mathcal{F}$ the evaluation map $ev : \mathcal{F} \to (\mathcal{F}^\vee )^\vee $ is injective.

Proof. You can check this using the definition of $\mathcal{J}$. Namely, if $s \in \mathcal{F}(U)$ is not zero, then let $j_{U!}\mathcal{O}_ U \to \mathcal{F}$ be the map of $\mathcal{O}$-modules it corresponds to via adjunction. Let $\mathcal{I}$ be the kernel of this map. There exists a nonzero map $\mathcal{F} \supset j_{U!}\mathcal{O}_ U/\mathcal{I} \to \mathcal{J}$ which does not annihilate $s$. As $\mathcal{J}$ is an injective $\mathcal{O}$-module, this extends to a map $\varphi : \mathcal{F} \to \mathcal{J}$. Then $ev(s)(\varphi ) = \varphi (s) \not= 0$ which is what we had to prove. $\square$
