PHILADELPHIA — The Mets are sticking to their plan of giving Jeff McNeil sporadic days off to make sure he stays healthy the rest of the year.

But they wouldn’t mind him having to play an extra game during their only break of the season.

McNeil has not stopped hitting. After going 2-for-4 in the Mets’ 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Phillies on Wednesday night, he has 11 more multi-hit games than no-hit games this season, working his way into serious All-Star conversation for July’s Midsummer Classic in Cleveland.

“It would mean a lot to me,” McNeil said. “It’d be a dream come true. Definitely a goal of mine to make the All-Star team. Tremendous first half, so to see how far I’ve come since last year to now, it’s pretty exciting.”

McNeil, who hit a solo homer in the fifth inning, has the second-best batting average (.351), trailing only Cody Bellinger (.354), and the fifth-best on-base percentage (.414), a category led by Mike Trout (.461). He was listed as an outfielder in the All-Star fan voting — perhaps too versatile for his own good, for once — and missed the cut to be a finalist for the starters’ vote.

McNeil’s path to the NL All-Star team now goes through the players’ ballot and Commissioner’s Office, who combine to select the reserves. They will be announced on Sunday.

“Really, the biggest thing that’s hurt him is he’s classified as an outfielder and he’s in the category with all those guys that have crazy numbers,” said Michael Conforto, who was named an All-Star by the players in 2017. “If he was in the second baseman’s category, he would be in there no doubt. It’s interesting. I hope he does make it. I think he’s got a good shot. He’s definitely got all of our votes.”

Pete Alonso and Jacob deGrom are also candidates to be the Mets’ representative.

While McNeil had done nothing but hit his entire way up the minor leagues, that he has done more of the same in the majors is all the more impressive. His 4-for-5 effort Tuesday marked his 29th multi-hit game. The longest he has gone without a hit is two games, and all three times he did that this season, he bounced back in the next game with a multi-hit effort.

“You see guys come up all the time that pitchers have a tough time getting them out, but you always see the league adapt and find a hole in their game,” Conforto said. “He just doesn’t have a hole.”

Wednesday marked McNeil’s 130th game in the majors. While he was the Mets’ Opening Day third baseman this year batting sixth, he has since become a staple in the leadoff spot as pitchers have struggled to expose his weaknesses.

“I was talking to Jay [Bruce] about him and he was like, ‘Yeah, I’m starting to buy into the whole McNeil [hype],’ ” Conforto said. “The guys in the minor leagues used to call him Ted Williams. Nobody could get him out.”

Opposing pitchers only get a break from McNeil when he’s not in the lineup.

Mickey Callaway said he hates not writing McNeil’s name in the lineup, but believes it’s necessary every so often to ensure he remains healthy. After enduring hip and hernia surgeries and a torn quad within the last three years — and a stint on the injured list this year with hamstring tightness — McNeil agreed that the days off are helpful and he can feel more explosive when he returns to the lineup.

“We’re doing a lot of prehab and a lot of conversations with Jeff to make sure he puts himself in a spot where we can play him as many days and as many games as we possibly can throughout the season,” Callaway said. “We’ll continue to try to make the right decision, even if it’s an unpopular one.”
