Is it possible to make AI use #5 starter as a swingman?

When using the "always start highest rested" rotation setting, the #5 starter will only take a turn if my team has five games in five days. Is there any way to get the AI to use him in relief if his turn won't be needed before the next off-day?

In my experience, sticking him in the pen and setting him to "Emergency SP" won't accomplish this. Seems like the emergency SP role is intended to work just how it sounds, not as a "spot starter". So even with a 4-man rotation, emergency SPs will never start.

Turning on "allow SP in relief" seems dangerous during the regular season. I'm not sure if I could make that work how I want.

Agree with you totally. The "Emergency SP" feature doesn't work in Perfect Team at all as there's no injuries. Well, based on its lack of use in Perfect Team I'm not even convinced it works in regular OOTP either.

The whole Lineups/Substitutions and Pitching screens need a complete overhaul. It's very hard to get it to do what you want. There also needs to be a "garbage time" option for pitchers (especially 2-way players that are mediocre pitchers). "Avoid High Leverage" doesn't work well enough, as they'll be pitching way more innings than you want (even in close games).

You can sort of accomplish this by setting the #5 starter's secondary role to Follower and not setting any relievers' roles to Opener. But you will end up with pitchers often starting not fully rested.

You have to try things. Try always start highest rested with allow starters in relief & see how the AI manages things. They do let you select a role for the starter & it is listed as their secondary role. So I assume the AI recognizes that their primary role is meant to be starter. So I would leave the starters that you do not want pitching blank and pick a role for your swing man and see how it goes.
