Standing up to the stumps in the 17th over at New Road on Friday, Buttler was struck by a bottom edge from Ben Cox's bat, leaving the 25-year-old in visible discomfort for the remainder of Worcestershire's innings.
However, the injury did not prevent Buttler from making his mark with the bat as he blasted a 20-ball half-century, Lancashire's fastest fifty in T20 cricket.
"Lancashire and England's Jos Buttler received a blow to his left thumb during Friday night's NatWest T20 Blast match against Worcestershire Rapids at New Road," England and Wales Cricket Board said in their website on Friday.
"X-rays later revealed he sustained a small stable fracture which will be managed considerably."
