SWITCHING bank accounts is a simple process and can usually be done through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS). Dozens of high street banks and building societies are signed up - there's a full list on CASS' website. Under the switching service, swapping banks should take seven working days. You don't have to remember to move direct debits across when moving, as this is done for you. All you have to do is apply for the new account you want, and the new bank will tell your existing one you're moving. There are a few things you can do before switching though, including choosing your switch date and transferring any old bank statements to your new account. You should get in touch with your existing bank for any old statements. When switching current accounts, consider what other perks might come with joining a specific bank or building society. Some banks offer 0% overdrafts up to a certain limit, and others might offer better rates on savings accounts. And some banks offer free travel or mobile phone insurance with their current accounts - but these accounts might come with a monthly fee.

Blue Jay Anthony Santander hits IL, Alan Roden returns
Anthony Santander 's first season in a Blue Jays uniform went from bad to worse on Friday afternoon when he was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Santander initially sustained the injury crashing into the outfield wall to make a catch against the Los Angeles Angels on May 8. Later in that game, he also jumped into the stands trying to catch a foul ball. The 30-year-old outfielder sat out the next series, but returned May 13 against the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite the time off, the injury did not heal and Santander had been trying to play through it until now. 'There are still a few swings, both right-handed and left-handed, where he can feel it,' Jays manager John Schneider said. 'He was on board with (the IL), just wanting to be 100 per cent. I give him credit for grinding through it. It's not an easy thing to do, when you're struggling, too. I think giving him some time to get right and then attacking the work the way we want is the goal.' The first two months of Santander's season were a nightmare. After hitting 44 homers for the Baltimore Orioles in 2024, the Jays rewarded him with a five-year contract worth $92.5 million (U.S.). He has been a shadow of his former self ever since. In 50 games, Santander is hitting just .179 with six homers and 18 RBIs. His .577 on-base plus slugging percentage is the seventh lowest in the majors among all qualified hitters. He has also been worth minus-0.7 wins above replacement per FanGraphs. He's under contract through the 2029 season, so the Jays have to hope his lack of offensive production was more tied to injuries than regression. He is not eligible to return from the injured list until June 3. 'He had an MRI last night,' Schneider said. 'We're still reading through it a little bit. I don't know the course of action, if it's going to be an injection or rehab. It just got to the point where it was bothering him and you can't put the work that you want to put in volume wise.' Rookie outfielder Alan Roden was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo. After being demoted in early May, the 25-year-old hit .361 with three homers and 12 RBIs for the Bisons.

Blue Jays place big-ticket free-agent slugger Anthony Santander on 10-day IL
At least for the time being, Tony Taters is in tatters. Given the five-year deal worth a cool $92.5-million he signed this off-season in free agency, Anthony Santander isn't going anywhere any time soon. He is going on the 10-day injured list, a move the Blue Jays revealed in the hours leading up to Friday night's first pitch against the visiting Athletics. To date, the Jays have not received much from the investment they made into the switch-hitting slugger, whose struggles at the plate prompted the club to recently give Santander an off-day to reset, only to admit he was dealing with a sore shoulder and later a hip issue. For the record, Santander's activation to the injured list was necessitated because of left shoulder inflammation. He had an MRI on it done on Thursday. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays recalled outfielder Alan Roden from the triple-A Buffalo Bisons. Despite dealing with his various health woes, at no point, until now, Santander was never placed on the IL, even though voices outside of the club were growing louder as his productivity at the plate faltered. Earlier this month, when the Jays were on a West Coast trip, Santander suffered the shoulder injury in a series against the L.A. Angels. The injury occurred when he crashed into the stands down the line in right field in pursuit of a fly ball. When the Jays got their hands on Santander — a move many in baseball endorsed, by the way — the thinking was the franchise had finally found a slugging piece to hit in the middle of the order. In 50 games, Santander, who hit a career-high 44 homers last season with the Baltimore Orioles, has gone deep six times. He is batting just .179 and his 26.3 strikeout rate is the highest of his career. If he had double-digit homers, perhaps those team-leading 55 K's would be tolerated. On one side, credit goes to Santander for trying to play through the injury, even though he wasn't producing much in his at-bats. On the other, one is left to wonder why such a move to go on the IL wasn't made sooner. The team, meanwhile, continues to evaluate whether anything played out to make the shoulder worse in the wake of the initial setback, and if rest is the best course of action or resorting to a cortisone shot. In other IL-related developments, veteran right-hander Max Scherzer (thumb) completed a live bullpen session Friday at the Rogers Centre under the auspices of club GM Ross Atkins, manager John Schneider and pitching coach Pete Walker. Many of Scherzer's teammates were on hand as well. By all accounts, the experience went well. As Scherzer has constantly reminded anyone who would listen, the biggest hurdle involves how the thumb responds in the ensuing days. Scherzer's one and only start with the Blue Jays lasted all of three innings when Baltimore was in town in the Jays' season-series opener.
