I can see in the game logs that McCarver is getting the odd day off, but overall his fatigue is trending down (or can fatigue drop from above 85% to 58% in one game?) Could it be that players are only ever benched for one game at a time, regardless of whether they get above the 85% treshold again?
Also his rest status says '58% - Tired (Bench <85%)'. Does this indicate he will be sitting out the next game?
Thanks again.

They could drop from 86 to 58 -the fatigue scale isn't entirely linear, so it's not like they drop by exactly X points per game, it will vary a little.
The setting showing there is more to remind you about it. It doesn't 100% mean that he would sit (if there's no valid backup for him, he would still play), but yeah, if you have a backup who's not otherwise benched or elsewhere in the lineup, then he should play.
Catcher fatigue is high, so sitting out roughly 1/3 games is about accurate. Although even for catchers, sitting for a game will likely bring them from 58 up to the 90s, I would expect, so he won't sit a second game in a row (unless if he was scheduled to sit against a lefty for example). So yeah, he might end up kind of yo-yo-ing around those marks.
