Ryan Howard is listed as 6'4 and 240 pounds. That was, before he got injured and could do no exercise whatsoever.
In Lakewood, Howard had to wear #52 until they could put together a #29 jersey that big:

Tonight in Lehigh Valley, Howard was slugging away wearing #50.
But, #50 is assigned to a current Iron Pig. That would be the um, burly Matt Wright:

Matt Wright's stats? 6'4, 270 pounds. At least that is the listed weight they admit to, anyway.

Wearing the #50 of a 270-pound pitcher, Howard went 2-3 with a home run so I do not really care how big he is. They will have to find him an XXL jersey if he is going to play on a Matt Wright start.
Small or large, come back, please.
