No maximum innings pitched. But remember there are weekly not daily changes so it's not like you can just cycle in every pitcher pitching that week to win the counting stats (IP, W, K; also SV but those are different pitchers) and there is a negative counting stat (L) to counteract something like that. You could load up with all 2 start pitchers for the week but you'll kill your rate stats (ERA, WHIP) because you're going to be starting some crappy pitchers.
If you don't reach your minimum, your opponent gets all the points in pitching stats for the week.
Realistically, if you run out 7 SPs (6 SPs, P slot), you should have no trouble at all getting to this. If you average 6 IPs from all of your guys, that gets you to 42. Realistically, you should get 1 or 2 2-start pitchers per week (7 days per week, 1 start every 5 days). On average, you should get 6 IPs from these starters with 9 starts and another ~6 IPs from your RPs for a total of 60 IPs so even with an injury, you should be just fine.
The IP limit is there to prevent the old LIMA strategy and give some depth to pitching where you need a lot of SPs to go along with a lot of position players to balance things out.
