Words of Introduction

122. After the greeting "the priest, the deacon, or another minister" may introduce the faithful to the Mass. (IG 50).

123. For a Stational Mass this is done by "the bishop himself, a deacon, or one of the concelebrants" (CB 132). The exclusion of the lay minister does not seem to apply for a normal Mass with the bishop (following CB 173), but only for the Stational Mass and Mass at which the bishop presides but does not celebrate (following CB 179).
