If you set up a schedule with just three games per week (say, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, which is about correct historically speaking) then with a 2-man rotation each pitcher will get 3 or 4 days of rest between every start; the third pitcher will never be needed.
With a five games per week schedule (on, say, Mon-Tue-Wed and Fri-Sat) you can have a 3-man rotation with the pitchers getting 3 days off between most starts and 4 days off for the remaining starts.
