It doesn't really seem like players receive the effect of 3 days off during the ASB as they would during any other 3 day stretch. Am I wrong?

Seems like the get rest to me.

Yeah, I've always noticed normal recovery.

Okay Thanks

It's usually guys in HiA and lower that need the rest at the all Star break due to their low durability. I can usually get a guy who is at 97 or 98, back to 100.

At the major league level, you should definitely be employing an active rest strategy to avoid any late season durability issues that could lead to your best players not playing in late season division games. Manager settings to get your starters out of the game when there is a 5+ run lead tends to work well throughout the season. Also, taking low durability guys (less than 85) out of the starting lineup when you play a bottom of the league team helps as well. Some of these management strategies are certainly a lot of work, but if you are only running one team, it should not be that cumbersome.

Tlowster, Thanks for that info, very helpful.

No problem. Also, if there are any durability issues, it could be due to what happened back in spring training. It is usually a good idea to make sure vet mlb players play minimally in spring training.

Your pitching staffs should all get back to 100% stamina. If not, you might want to think about signing another pitcher or two at those levels.

As for position players, the recovery isn't as quick as it is for pitchers, unfortunately. It might take a guy who gets down to 95% a few calendar days to get to 100%, not just one cycle like it would be for pitchers.
