Late season inning's fatigue -- does it exist?

At 74-42, my 2021 Cardinals are in a comfortable position in terms of the NL Central (14-plus game lead) and NL overall (eight games or so).
Which brings up the question, do I give my starters some time off in September to keep them fresh for the playoffs?
Luke Weaver and Carlos Martinez are in the top three in innings pitched and rookie Oscar De La Cruz is on pace to eclipse his career high mid-month.
Would it be wise to sit them a start or two -- or maybe more in De La Cruz's case, he's really been good and I've got a No. 1 starter in Memphis (Lewis Thorpe) I'd like to get a look at -- down the stretch?
Or does OOTP not degrade pitcher performance once they start getting to an innings total they have not seen before?

I dunno, wouldn't they start to get rusty from all the not playing? I wouldn't want to disrupt their funky flow.

I've often wondered the same thing. I'm hoping someone gives good insight although I suspect the responses will be along the lines of "maybe" and OOTP-mystery, and "sometimes" etc.

I'm not sure if it matters, aside from the fact that any start is one more chance to get hurt, but if I'm comfortable in September I definitely take the pressure off my top guys a bit. Say, a 6-man rotation or making sure relievers don't pitch back-to-back days often. I've never completely sat a guy for more than 5 or 6 days though.

Every September to hedge my bets, I do a 6 man rotation.

This. Switch to 6 man rotation rotate through your bullpen giving days off in between starts to best RPs.

I also give my starting lineup 2 days off a week.
