Relatively new to SOM and just curious . . . with all the realism built into the game, why is there no such thing as catcher fatigue? I know the injury ratings are generally set higher for catchers, but just wondering why there's no feature that would allow you to rest your primary C every 5th day or after a long game to help keep him fresh.

The injury rating takes care of that. Besides most catchers having a 2 injury rating (results on 11 and 2) most of them have less than 600 PA so could be injured for up to 15 games per injury occurance. All of this time missed generally makes up for the less games played for catchers. The missed games just come bunched together rather than 1 game every 5th day.
