Just as a test I went back to 12 and changed one of my starters to MR and left him in the rotation. First game he pitched 9 innings despite the MR title. His ERA was higher than average. I will see how the innings look at the end of the season.
McCoy
year G GS IP IP per game
1910 34 34 289 8.5
1911 38 38 294 7.7

Doesn't seem to be a huge effect on innings when I switched him to MR less than 1 IP per game difference. However, ERA rose from 2.06 to 3.27. So there was a difference there. Was he getting tired earlier but the AI still using him or was it a bad year? I am not sure. It could also be league totals. League ERA went from 2.70 in 1910 to 3.26 in 1911.

The fact it makes little to no difference in sims if the guy is labeled MR or SP in the rotation seems to indicate the tiredness is nothing more than a marker to tell you he needs to be pulled to be able to perform when needed next. In this case IP per game were slightly less when I made McCoy a MR but left in the rotation but well above 2 or 3 IP per a game. His ERA did rise more than league average. In 1910 he was below league average in 1911 he was just about league average. That could be caused by a lot of things. His ERA went up over 1 but league average went up by .56 so at least some of this was probably league total differences going from 1910 to 1911.

In conclusion, I believe when you have the guy at MR, and the game says he is tired it is telling you if you want him to pitch tomorrow or the next day pull him now rather than he is out of gas. Note I just simmed the whole season I didn't play a single game out.
