There is 100% a "rust" effect built into the game already. I think it affects injury proneness more than anything else, which is a big part of why you want a guy who's missed a lot of time to play a few games in the minors before you put him back into your lineup (it's also why the single most injury-prone time is the first game of spring training), but I'm also like 99% positive that it makes pitchers more wild (I feel like I've even seen this with my own eyes although that could be confirmation bias) and probably has an effect on position players as well.
