Rather than micro-manage settings to make him your least-used reliever and then hope ABE does the rest, why not change the rule so that the inning limit disappears when you're out of options, instead of at a certain age?
Unlimited IP for pitchers out of options

Currently it's easy for a young starting pitcher who is out of options and has great endurance to reach 200 IP, or a comparable reliever to hit 100 IP before September. So what to do when he's getting close to his limit? If you option him to the minors you risk losing him. If you leave him in, he tops his limit and loses 5 points off health. You can't rest him until September.

Or better, just get rid of the rule since it is super annoying and doesn't do anything for balance of the game (now that the soft cap for pitcher IC is in place).

yeah, i dont like that setting either, especially if you hold a guy to 199 innings at 23 so he doesn't get the penalty, then he still has to stay at 199 for the next 4 years? Incremental increases shouldn't be penalized, (199-220-240-unlimited). This is on ideascale, I believe. But what you can do is send him to the bullpen when he gets to 140-150 innings or so, he'll still rack up ICs and should end up avoiding the health and the endurance penalties. It'll hinder his chances of accomplishing career milestones though, but it's about the only thing you can do to save his health.

The health penalty is badly broken but in leagues using anything but system 3 or 4 for injuries pitchers get hurt so rarely that it really doesn't have much impact .
