And the same is true in OOTP. Relievers are used on back-to-back days all the time in OOTP. I'll reiterate what has been said before: your relievers are a-okay to pitch when "slightly tired." You'll also notice that players are shown as "rested" even if they aren't 100%. It's just part of the game mechanics. Tiredness is accumulated over time and eventually the player does need a day off.

Pitchers also have different stamina ratings. A reliever with very low stamina might need more than one day off if he has been used heavily over the course of several days.

In my experience, relievers get a realistic number of innings pitched over the course of a season with the default settings (pitcher stamina on "low," modifiers at 1.000) so I think this is working just fine.
