PHILADELPHIA — Jeff McNeil’s ramp-up for a potential return in the postseason is about to begin.

The Mets utilityman is scheduled to rejoin the team Sunday, following the birth of a child, and has been cleared to resume baseball activities, according to Carlos Mendoza.

The manager added that McNeil has already been hitting off a tee.

McNeil spent the final three weeks of the regular season on the injured list with a right wrist fracture after he was hit by a pitch.

Mendoza said it’s still unclear if McNeil would be a possibility for a return in the NLCS if the Mets were to advance.

“We’re going to put our eyes on him and follow that progression,” Mendoza said before the Mets faced the Phillies in Game 1 of the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park.

With McNeil sidelined, Jose Iglesias has been the team’s everyday second baseman.
