Dodgers Spring Training Videos: Kershaw Warms Up, Puig Takes BP
While Clayton Kershaw was warming up for the live batting practice session, Yasmani Grandal was busy getting his hacks in, via the Dodgers:
Yasiel Puig also took batting practice, via J.P. Hoornstra of the LA Daily News:
While Grandal and Puig took batting practice, they were not in the group of hitters to face Kershaw, according to Bill Plunkett of the OC Register:

Adrian Gonzalez was the lucky (?) batter who got to face Kershaw first:
After giving up just nine home runs last season, Kershaw allowed one to Juan Uribe during the live batting practice session, according to Plunkett:
Juan Uribe just took Kershaw deep over the LF wall. 1st ball hit out of IF in session. #Dodgers.

Falling in line with what manager Don Mattingly said to expect from pitchers making their first start of the spring, Kershaw threw roughly two innings, according to Eric Stephen of True Blue LA:
Kershaw's ~2 IP: 4 strikeouts, one HR (Uribe), one BB (Gonzalez), one single (Turner), two groundouts

Here’s Kershaw reaction to Uribe hitting the home run off him.
