I can't say 100% for sure, but this tends to be a yes in the DH leagues I have run

On a positive note, the AI tends to use the bullpen much better in a DH league when it is choosing relief pitchers and how long to leave them in, as opposed to running through pinch hitters and spot switches. It becomes one of the big advantages a player gets to playing his games out rather than simming in a no-DH league, he will do a better job with bullpen management and pick up a few wins a year that way.
