This oversight is somewhat offset by the fact that the game also doesn't enforce the 15-day callup rule for pitchers optioned to the minors (in MLB, they can only be brought back sooner if they're replacing another pitcher going on the IL).

So my workaround is to option a tired pitcher (even someone I use in the first game) to the minors for the "27th man" and then reverse the move after the doubleheader. Of course this isn't perfect as you can use up an option year if it's a pitcher that hasn't already been up and down, and it only helps if you're playing in the current day or future.
