In real life pitchers work out differently and do different things on start day compared to their off days and so aren’t necessarily going to give you all the innings they’d normally give if you have to rush them into relief. Also, relievers tend to rely on a couple of pitches and throw harder for a single inning whereas starters even in the modern day are expected to have at least three distinct pitches and pace themselves to go 5-6. You’ll notice, perhaps, that your starter might have a different Stuff rating when being used in relief. Usually it’s higher.
Separating starting fatigue from relief fatigue is one of the ways OOTP handles this. Unfortunately that does mean you can’t really expect a SP, even a well rested one, to go 6 innings in relief for you.
