He has one less rib, but Matt Harvey is one step closer to getting back on the field.

On Wednesday, Harvey tweeted a picture of him lying in his hospital bed and watching the Mets-Cubs game while recovering from his surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome.

On Monday, the New York Mets pitcher underwent the season-ending surgery that involved the removal of Harvey's top rib.

Based on his emoji usage, looks like the former all-star is in good spirits.
