There are rumors that American League Manager Terry Francona could decide to name Yankees' closer Mariano Rivera as the starter during Tuesday's All-Star Game, according to Boston Globe.

"What we're going to do is we're going to try to do multiple things," said Francona. "We're going to try to win the game. We're going to try to use people appropriately and do what we can. We are aware of where we're playing, who some of the guys are who are representing some teams, and try to do that respectfully."

Francona maintains that he will not name a starter until Monday.
