Pitcher rest

How much of a difference in performance does it make to start a pitcher who is 80-85% rested vs. 100% rested? (Same pitcher with 14 out of 20 stamina, just different levels of rested.) This would typically be on 3 days vs. 4 or 5 days between starts. Does their performance suffer much if any?

I think they only tire faster (can't throw as many pitches before status goes from OK to tired).

Plus if done too often, the risk of injury increases if I'm not mistaken.

For my league i usea 4 man rotation and skip the #4 guy often, while I have pitched my #1 guy at 63% sometimes, all i notice is he will get tired after about 90 pitches vs 140 (STA of 10 out of 10). And yeah i wouldnt do it often cuz i dont want to risk injury.
