So much for Tim Tebow coming to the Mets’ rescue this season.

Tebow will undergo season-ending surgery to remove the fractured hamate bone in his right hand, assistant general manager John Ricco said Monday at Citi Field.

The 30-year-old suffered the injury swinging a bat Thursday while with Double-A Binghamton, seemingly closing in on a call-up to the Mets by the end of the year.

“It’s a six-to-eight week recovery,’’ Ricco said. “So, effectively, his season’s over.”

But not necessarily his Mets career.

Ricco called Tebow’s season “a complete positive” and said there was no reason to believe he wouldn’t be a part of the organization next season – although he cautioned that conversations about Tebow’s status for next season have yet to take place.

“To see a guy in a couple short years who is now competing at the Double-A level – and thriving, really.” Ricco said. “The last couple months he was playing really well. I don’t see how that could be anything but a positive.”

The former Heisman Trophy winner and ex-Jet was able to transform himself from a gimmicky novelty act into a player that at least didn’t embarrass himself in the minors.

In 298 plate appearances with Binghamton this season, Tebow hit .273, had an OPS of .734 and his six homers. He also struck out 103 times, 22 more than anyone else on the roster.

He made the Eastern League All-Star Game and it seemed increasingly likely that with the Mets’ playoff hopes doomed, the former quarterback would arrive in Queens when rosters expanded in September.

Because of the injury, he’ll have to wait at least until next season to reach his goal of making the majors.

“Obviously, the age factor is there and it’s tough for him to miss this last month,’’ Ricco said. “He’s really gone out and made great strides.”

The loss of Tebow, who no doubt would have drawn crowds to Citi Field, is just the latest blow to the Mets.

They have the second-worst record in the National League, are dealing with a potentially chronic heel injury to star outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and could trade their best player, Jacob deGrom, by next week’s non-waiver trade deadline.

So as bad as the situation is now, it could get even worse. That is why a potential Tebow cameo would have been welcomed by some.

Tebow decided to play pro baseball in the summer of 2016 and signed a minor league deal with the Mets in September.

He split last season between Class-A St. Lucie and Class-A Columbia before being assigned to Binghamton out of spring training this year.

Less than two weeks ago at the Eastern League All-Star Game, Tebow insisted he wasn’t looking too far ahead.

“I can’t worry about any of that,” Tebow said at the time of getting to the majors. “I have to stay focused on the process and not the maybes, not the hypothetical, not the ‘What ifs…’ You have to be so focused on each day and every day. I have a lot of room to grow. I know I’m not even close to where I want to be.”
